Phoebe Hale was back in town for one thing: revenge. After her mother’s suspicious death, her father, Sergio, had wasted no time moving his mistress and their two children into the family home. While Phoebe was raised in exile, he was living lavishly on the inheritance that was rightfully hers.
Now, Sergio wants to welcome her back into the family, but Phoebe knows what he’s truly after—the 60% of the company she secretly controls. Reclaiming her mother’s legacy won’t be simple. Phoebe is ready to burn down their entire world for what they did to her mother.
But her quest for vengeance gets complicated by one man: Harold Bailey. The city’s most commanding and powerful figure, he’s a man haunted by a chronic insomnia that no one can cure. Her presence is the only thing that gives him peace. He’s dangerously handsome, intensely curious, and he won’t let her go. Phoebe came for retribution, not romance, but she might just find that this man is a distraction she can’t afford to resist.

Our party, consisting of striking men and gorgeous women, each a prominent and powerful figure in the capital, immediately captured everyone's attention as we appeared in the ground floor lobby.
