Founded on its family name, Atlanta’s Vance Group owes its massive expansion entirely to Elena Vance’s twelve years of behind-the-scenes leadership. On the day of her father’s funeral, her mother Margaret erases her completely—stripping her of all inheritance, corporate titles, and every trace of her work in the company’s records.
Instead of begging to be taken back, the disowned daughter turns to Damian Blackwood, the Vance family’s fiercest rival. She trades confidential client resources, damning evidence, and her own carefully guarded limits for a three-month high-stakes wager. What she fights to reclaim is not merely a corporate position, but the universal acknowledgment that she once mattered—on her own terms, with everyone forced to recognize her worth.
