Compelled

He owns the secret that could destroy her. Keeping her close may destroy him first. Elise Carrow built her career on rules, restraint, and an immaculate professional reputation. No one knows that five years ago, she broke the law to expose a deadly corporate cover-up. She buried the evidence, protected the people involved, and rebuilt her life behind a mask of perfect control. Then billionaire CEO Reid Langford uncovers her digital trail. Reid does not believe in trust. He believes in leverage. Instead of exposing Elise, he gives her an impossible choice: join his private executive team and help save his billion-dollar acquisition, or lose everything she sacrificed to protect. Now Elise is trapped inside Reid's glass-and-steel empire, working from his restricted offices, traveling at his command, and spending long nights beside the one man who has the power to ruin her. She should hate his control. She should fear the obsession growing behind his cold restraint. She should never want him. But as a relentless forensic audit closes in, Elise becomes more than Reid's unwilling strategist. She becomes the only person he trusts, the only woman who challenges him, and the one weakness he cannot force into submission. He holds her future in his hands. She may be the only person capable of bringing his empire to its knees. And when blackmail becomes desire, surrender could cost them both everything.
