The Steele Effect
Control is an illusion, especially when the person across the table witnessed your most private moment.
Candice Davenport knows how to keep her head in the game. As the driving force behind Davenport Group, she built her reputation on sharp instincts, careful strategy, and never letting business get personal.
Then Adrian Steele walks into the room.
Except he isn't just another corporate rival. He’s the man from an uninhibited night where boundaries were blurred, inhibitions were left at the door, and the last man she expected to ever see again.
As CEO of Steele International Holdings, Adrian is accustomed to control. Candice should be just another deal to navigate. Instead, she’s the woman whose quiet surrender he witnessed, and the one temptation he can’t put behind him.
Now on opposite sides of a multimillion-dollar negotiation, business demands professional boundaries.
Desire has other plans.
The Steele Effect is a provocative contemporary romance about power, desire, and what happens when two people who are used to being in control find someone capable of unraveling them.
