Chase Stone never expected to inherit anything from his estranged father. When the elder Stone dies suddenly, Chase and his sister Alex discover they now own a multibillion-dollar corporation. Neither wants the responsibility of running Stone Enterprises, especially after learning the business harbors dangerous secrets. Their inheritance comes with another shock: they have a half brother they must locate to share the fortune. Piper Maddox knows where all the bodies are buried at Stone Enterprises. She served as the old man's assistant until he fired her two weeks before his death. Chase needs her expertise to navigate the company and find his missing sibling before the media discovers the story. Piper agrees to return, but only if Chase keeps things strictly professional. That proves harder than either anticipated as they work together to uncover family secrets and track down the third Stone heir. Their search reveals truths that could destroy the empire or bring Piper and Chase closer than they ever imagined.
