The Senior Partner

A hostile merger turns rivals into allies—until truth threatens everything they built.

Vesper Vance is a senior associate with a buried ethics breach and a legacy name to protect. A hostile merger swallows her firm, and Cassian St. James—her Yale Law rival and the man she never forgave—becomes her boss. He knows her secret. He uses it to force one last case against billionaire Balthazar Thorne, a donor darling who treats people like expenses. In marble corridors and gala light, every smile hides a threat. Vesper can fight the merger, protect the staff who depend on her, and survive Cassian's pull—but only if she stops mistaking control for safety.

He wants obedience. She wants room. Thorne wants silence—now.
