NOTE: it's been retitled as "The Billionaire's Revenge".
Natalie Hall was adopted, a yellow face brought up in the white elite Hall family, a blueblood family that produced senators and billionaires. She knew she doesn't belong, but her father was always kind to her. It's her mother... and her sister, that never accepted her. Now that her father is on a re-election campaign, she just did not want to get involved, so she buried herself at work at DDE, a defense contractor. She had once loved someone, but she was betrayed. She came to work and suddenly found out her boss, the VP, had been fired, and she'd been promoted to VP... and the CEO, Alex Damon, was oh-so-tempting. Alex Damon is on a mission. Decades ago, a certain Emily Rodale destroyed his family by ruining his father. Now, he's on track to take over Rodale International, except for two things. Someone at DDE is feeding intel to Rodale so Rodale is undercutting DDE's bids, and the Halls have been protecting Rodales for too long. Finding Natalie Hall (who's also Emily Rodale's goddaughter) seems to be a perfect step to his plan of vengeance, esp. when his right-hand-man was convinced Natalie was the leak... Except... Alex did not count on finding Natalie being totally honest and ethical... not that he can afford to believe her... and secrets regarding his and her origins may destroy them both... or redeem them.
This title was long and dumb (I believe the original title is better). However, the plot twists and the heavy family pressure was quite good. The sex seems to be incidental. But both characters have enough wounds to be 3 dimensional without being overwhelmed.
