He was supposed to be a name on a contract. A signature. A means to an end.

Instead, Priya Sharma spent one reckless night in Nikolai Vaughn's bed before she knew who he was — and three weeks later she's standing in his boardroom, watching him dismantle the company her late father built, one clause at a time.

Nikolai doesn't do mistakes. He built an empire on precision, on control, on never wanting something he couldn't own outright. But the woman across the table is the one loose thread in a plan five years in the making — the one person whose ruin he can't seem to finish, because he can't stop thinking about the sound she made when she stopped fighting him and started asking for more.

He tells himself it's leverage. She tells herself it's hate. Neither of them believes it past midnight.

What starts as a hostile takeover becomes something far more dangerous than business — a claiming neither of them agreed to, conducted in boardrooms and penthouse elevators, in the space between I shouldn't and again. Nikolai doesn't ask permission. Priya stops pretending she wants him to. But revenge has a shelf life, and when the real reason behind his war with her family finally surfaces, the accord between them will either become the truest thing either of them has ever signed onto — or the deal that costs them everything.

The Penthouse Accord is a very high-heat, single-couple standalone romance with a full, earned HEA. Explicit sexual content throughout, dominant/possessive hero, power-exchange dynamics, and dark, obsessive intensity.

Contains mature themes intended for adult readers 18+.
