Two empires. One night. No rules.

Vespera Valmont is the ice queen of tech. Cillian Sterling is the corporate raider who wants to dismantle her kingdom. When they meet in the high-stakes silence of a boardroom, the air doesn’t just spark—it burns.

Cillian doesn’t want her shares. He wants her submission. And he’s given her one hour to meet him at Acheron, the city’s most exclusive den of sin, or lose everything she’s built.

But Vespera has a secret. Beneath her emerald silk dress, she’s wearing a weapon of glass and lace, designed to drive him to the brink of madness. She thinks she has a plan to save her company. He thinks he’s already bought her soul.

In this game of power and shadows, the only thing more dangerous than a hostile takeover is the fire between two rivals who hate how much they crave each other.

"Ruthless Merger" is a high-heat, billionaire rivals-to-lovers novella featuring a strong heroine, an alpha hero, and psychological power plays that will leave you breathless.

Note: This is Volume 1 of the Ruthless Merger series. It ends on a cliffhanger that leads directly into the bedroom... and the next level of the game.
