Executive Desire by Barbra Campbell

Building an empire is easy. Building trust…not so much.

I’ve lived and learned and fought my way up from nothing, gathering a small group of people I trust along the way.
My past taught me to fend for myself, and I do. If I want something, I get it, at any cost. I control my destiny.
Then I set my sights on taking over Rachelia’s company. Carrying out my plan will destroy her. But for the first time since I can remember, emotion and attachment cloud my judgment.
If I tell the board I can’t go through with it, I’ll lose their confidence. But if I plow ahead, I’ll risk hurting the one woman who might be able to put up with me.
Or is she too much like me? Is she playing the game I thought I’d mastered?
I’ve never been able to trust my heart. Will I regret starting now?
