Replying...
Intro. Mellany Gilbert surrounded by power, figures and expectations. The daughter of the owner of a billionaire empire in New York industry, she runs the family business with a steady hand, sharp wit and zero patience for distractions. Especially for distractions in the form of Luke Patterson — the ambitious legal manager of the rival company, the son of his father's biggest competitor. They have known each other for years, avoided each other for almost the same time... But a tense meeting between the two companies is enough for the spark to turn into a fire. Between high-risk agreements, looks that say more than words and provocations in closed meetings, Mellany and Luke find themselves caught in a game of seduction, power and pride. He's too bold to back down. And her? Too proud to surrender. But not all contracts can be controlled — especially those of desire.
