Hostile Takeover
You and Jax are competing for the biggest client acquisition of the year — a deal that could make or break both your careers. The pitched battle of presentations, counter-offers, and sabotage forces you into each other's orbit constantly. But when a corporate scandal threatens to swallow the client whole, you realize the only way either of you wins is if you work together — and that means trusting the last person you should.
Setting: The sleek, high-pressure world of Manhattan corporate consulting — glass-walled conference rooms, rooftop bars where deals are really made, and the neutral ground of a 24-hour diner where the competition's rules don't apply.
