The Boardroom's Secret Collar

She built an empire of code, only to lose it all to one man. Now, he's made her an offer she can't refuse.

Maia Calder spent years creating NeuralNet, a revolutionary AI startup. But her triumph turns to devastation when corporate leviathan Torin Vale acquires her company in a ruthless, hostile takeover. While her team is dismissed, Maia is given a choice: walk away from her life's work or stay on as lead strategist under the man who now owns her... and everything she holds dear.

This new world is a gilded cage of power and control. Torin's demands are as brutal as they are tantalizing, pushing Maia to her limits in the boardroom and behind closed doors. Every command is a test, every touch a calculated move in a game she doesn't understand. She tells herself she's doing it for her career, for the legacy of her work, but she cannot deny the forbidden thrill of surrender or the insidious way her body betrays her with a fire she can't extinguish.

But as his control tightens, she discovers the most dangerous secret of all: the one thing he truly wants is the one thing she's terrified to give... herself. In a world of secrets and seduction, where every submission feels like a victory and every touch a scandalous whisper, Maia must decide if she's willing to pay the ultimate price for a power worth claiming and a desire that could shatter them both.
