The Beast on Her Leash

Eliza Stone is offered the CEO position at Everon Tech by chairman Adrian Hawke, who sees promise in her journey from humble beginnings to success. The opportunity is more than a career step for Eliza: she intends to use access to the company to gather evidence about Vincent, the man responsible for her parents’ deaths. Yet Adrian attaches a demanding condition to the appointment. To take the role, Eliza must help Adrian’s youngest son, Ryder, become more civilized. Ryder is difficult to manage, and their opposing personalities create repeated clashes and charged moments. As Eliza tries to keep control of the arrangement while protecting her real purpose, the new position draws her into a risky balance between professional ambition, personal feelings, and the danger surrounding Vincent’s crimes.
