I SOLD MY FREEDOM TO THE MAN WHO RULES THIS CITY. I am a Black woman who has fought for every inch of my success. I am the Ice Queen of the Atlanta legal world. My career is my life. My reputation is flawless. But the senior partnership I crave is slipping through my fingers. The board wants a power couple. They want a woman with a life outside the courtroom. I have nothing but my files and a secret I have guarded for thirty years. To win, I need a man who commands every room he enters. I need DeShawn Williams. He is the most powerful white CEO in the city. He is arrogant. He is massive. He is a predator in a bespoke suit. We made a deal. I handle his multi-billion dollar merger. He plays the part of my devoted lover. But his price is higher than I expected. He demands I move into his penthouse. He demands I surrender my autonomy. He wants to break my cold exterior and claim what no man has ever touched. The lines between the contract and reality are blurring. In the boardroom, I am a titan. In his bedroom, I am his. He sees through my armor. He knows I am inexperienced. He takes pleasure in my awakening. My rivals are circling. They want to expose our lie and ruin my career. They do not realize that DeShawn does not just protect his assets. He owns them. I will either reach the top of the corporate ladder or be consumed by the fire of his obsession.
