She thought she was the one in control. She was wrong. Claire is at the top of her game: a sharp professional on the fast track to a regional manager position, with a life defined by order and ambition. But when her best friend begs her to mentor her rebellious daughter, "Angel," Claire's structured world begins to fracture. Enter Nyx. Claire's goddaughter is no "angel." She doesn't want a mentor—she wants a playground. A mysterious past has turned Nyx into an insatiable domme with a knack for getting what she wants while her conquests beg her for more. As the lines between mentorship and obsession blur, Claire must decide how much of herself she's willing to lose to a woman who is as dangerous as she is irresistible. Nyx's calculated, seductive takeover doesn't stop at Claire. She sets her sights on the one woman Claire fears most—Veronica, a conniving woman determined to sabotage Claire through whatever means possible. Soon, the professional lines between the three women blur into a dangerous web of corporate espionage and forbidden attraction. Seduction, romance, and BDSM replace spreadsheets and emails in this tale, where climbing the corporate ladder requires turning your competition into your obedient toys.
