The Deal Between Us: The Power Play Series - Book One
Avery Barris
She was hired to protect the deal.
Falling for the CEO could destroy everything.
Raina Hart is the fixer companies call when billion-dollar acquisitions start to bleed.
She’s sharp. Controlled. Unimpressed by power.
Which means Adrian Caldwell should be easy to handle.
He isn’t.
As the ruthless CEO of Caldwell Global, Adrian built his empire on discipline, distance, and absolute control. He doesn’t trust outsiders. He doesn’t tolerate disruption. And he definitely doesn’t get distracted by the brilliant consultant now sitting across his boardroom table.
But Raina isn’t just another consultant.
She challenges him.
Outmaneuvers him.
Sees far too much.
And the closer they work to save the deal, the more dangerous the tension between them becomes.
Because someone inside the company is sabotaging the acquisition.
And the only person Adrian finds himself trusting…
…is the one woman he should keep at a distance.
In a world of power plays, corporate secrets, and impossible choices, Adrian and Raina are about to learn the one rule neither of them planned for:
The most dangerous deals… are the ones that become personal.
