Two cutthroat female executives. One CEO seat. Zero chance of keeping their hands off each other.
Elena Rossi is a VP of Marketing with a twelve-year plan, a Valentino armor collection, and an insomnia problem she hides with concealer and espresso. She controls everything — her career, her image, her orgasms. The idea of letting someone else take the wheel makes her physically ill.
Sarah Jenkins is a VP of Sales who reads people the way other people read spreadsheets — instantly, completely, dispassionately. She never raises her voice because she knows exactly how to break someone down and build them back up with a few quiet words. Her ex-wife said she was incapable of real intimacy. Sarah’s terrified she was right.
When the CEO announces her retirement and pits them against each other for the corner office, Elena and Sarah are forced into a glass-walled war room and a high-stakes business trip to Tokyo. What starts as corporate knife-fighting turns into something neither of them can control — late-night confessions over whiskey, a first kiss against a hotel room door, and the devastating discovery that the woman across the boardroom table is the only person who’s ever made them want to let go.
But a secret relationship between two CEO candidates is a powder keg. A saboteur is working to destroy them both. And the woman who holds Elena together with two whispered words — good girl — is the same woman she might have to beat for the job of a lifetime.
