COLD EQUATIONS: A Dark Billionaire Romance
She's hunting his secrets. He's protecting hers. Neither knows they're playing the same game.
They call Caspian Sterling "The Iceman"—Wall Street's coldest CFO, the Sterling brother who feels nothing and controls everything. He's spent his life protecting his family's empire from the inside, burying secrets so deep no one should ever find them.
Then she starts digging.
Jen Shields—"The Bloodhound"—is the most dangerous forensic accountant in the country. A 93% success rate. Exposed hedge fund criminals. Sent billionaires to prison. She's never lost a case, and she's never trusted a man in an expensive suit. Not since one destroyed her family.
When Jen uncovers $4.2 million in phantom payments buried in Sterling Industries' books, Caspian has two let her expose the truth and get herself killed, or bring her inside where he can control what she finds.
He hires her. She takes the job.
They both know it's a trap. Neither expects the attraction.
She thinks he's hiding fraud. He knows she'll die if she finds what she's looking for. She's auditing his company. He's rewriting every equation he's ever believed about himself. And somewhere between late nights arguing economic theory and the tension burning through every boardroom encounter, the ice starts to crack.
But when the people who hired Jen decide she's not working fast enough, the game turns lethal—and Caspian must choose between the family empire he's sworn to protect and the woman who sees through every wall he's ever built.
Some equations have no solution. Some have only one.
