The Rival Agreement (The Power Play #2)
Avery Barris
Three years ago, Mara Bennett walked away from Julian Mercer.
Now she has to negotiate with him.
Julian Mercer built his reputation on control.
Control of deals.
Control of billion-dollar negotiations.
Control of every room he walks into.
What he never managed to control…
…was Mara.
Now a high-stakes acquisition forces them back across the same table.
Mara is the strategist protecting Caldwell Holdings.
Julian represents the rival firm determined to dominate the deal.
Old history.
Old rivalries.
And a tension neither of them has ever truly resolved.
Every meeting becomes a battle of leverage.
Every negotiation pushes them closer to a line they once crossed—and never forgot.
But as corporate pressure builds and outside forces threaten the deal, one truth becomes impossible to ignore.
The most dangerous move in any negotiation…
…is trusting the person who already knows how to break you.
