Hostile Takeover

For Nalani Stark, legacy matters… maybe more than most things.

Important enough that when that legacy - inextricably tied to her mother's memory - is challenged, she's forced to consider even the most undesirable options…

Such as a match made in hell with Orion Sterling.

The heir to the competitor she grew up being warned about.

Orion is a man well-accustomed to getting exactly what he wants. Other than opportunities to grow the family business, he's moved by very few things.

One of which happens to be Nalani Stark.

They each have something the other needs, and only one way to get it : a contract that delineates exactly what each person takes from the arrangement.

Simple enough…

Unless feelings get brought into the exchange.
