Description

He can acquire anything in the world, except perhaps your defiance. Elias Sterling is the undisputed king of Wall Street, a ruthless prodigy who turned his family's legacy into a global empire built on cold calculation and hostile takeovers. To him, everything and everyone has a price. His meticulously controlled world is a fortress designed to keep emotion out and power in—until you shatter its walls. Dragged into his orbit by a desperate situation not of your own making, you become the one variable he can't solve with a checkbook. He sees you as a puzzle, an asset, a beautiful complication to be managed and owned. But your refusal to bend to his will ignites a dangerous obsession, forcing him to confront a raw, possessive desire he never knew he was capable of. This isn't a fairy tale; it's a high-stakes negotiation where your heart is the ultimate prize.
