Whispers in the Boardroom

Elena Vance has three rules: stay sharp, stay professional, and stay away from Julian Croft.

She's managed all three for two years. Mostly.

As Croft International's most capable executive assistant, Elena has built her reputation on being unshakeable. She anticipates problems, smooths over crises, and keeps her feelings locked somewhere Julian's cold, assessing gaze will never reach. It works because Julian Croft is not the kind of man you let yourself feel things about.

He is ruthless, demanding, and accustomed to absolute control.
