A+ Fantasy Management

She built an empire on other people's fantasies. Her own is the one secret that could bring it all down.

Six months ago, Kristin Hale and Tyler North turned a desperate idea into A+ Fantasy Management, the city's most exclusive companionship agency. Now they have a sleek new headquarters, a fiercely loyal team, and a client list powerful enough to make their competitors nervous.

Kristin has everything she fought for.

Except an answer to what happened on graduation night.

She and Tyler crossed the one line neither of them was supposed to touch, then buried it beneath work, ambition, and six months of carefully maintained silence. Kristin tells herself distance is safer. Protect the friendship. Protect the company. Never risk the only person she cannot afford to lose.

Then the offers begin.

A powerful rival wants control of A+. When Kristin refuses to sell, persuasion turns to surveillance. Clients are watched. Employees are followed. A trusted insider is exposed as a plant. And one of Kristin's own disappears without warning, leaving behind an empty apartment, a hidden laptop, and proof that she never intended to leave.

This is no longer a business negotiation.

It is a hostile takeover conducted through fear.

To save the company, Kristin must do the one thing she has spent her entire life avoiding: surrender control and trust the people who love her. Especially Tyler, who is finished pretending they are strangers everywhere except the office.

He has a truth of his own to confess.

And he is no longer willing to let fear decide what they could become.

But the closer Kristin and Tyler move toward each other, the more dangerous they become to the enemy closing around them. Because the easiest way to destroy A+ Fantasy Management is not to attack the company.

It is to divide the two people holding it together.

The offers were never really offers. The fall was always the plan. And Kristin Hale does not know how to lose.
