He was the brilliant mind behind the Pacific Standard's success, until she decided he was better suited as her seat.
William Smalls is the lead strategist for a billion-dollar firm, a man respected for his voice and his vision. But when Kiara Sanchez takes over as CEO, she doesn't want his advice. She wants his silence. In the glass-walled executive suite, the rules of business are dismantled and replaced by the laws of biology. William is no longer a partner; he is a footstool, a cushion, and a vessel for Kiara's absolute authority.
While a rival executive plots a coup to restore the old order, William faces a choice that will define his existence. He can reclaim his seat at the boardroom table, or he can surrender to the exquisite agony of the silver instruments Kiara uses to claim him from the inside out.
The gala is approaching, and the board is watching. Will William stand up and lead, or will he kneel and show the world that his true purpose is to be crushed beneath her heels?
