“They call you "Angel." Try negotiating with the devil.“

Nathan Winslow had spent his entire life proving that everyone had a price. She was beginning to look like the first exception.

The problem was that changing your worldview at twenty-seven was a lot harder than writing someone a check for a few million dollars.

NATHAN WINSLOW

As the heir to the Winslow Group, Nathan was raised on the principle that influence is the only currency that truly matters. Now, at twenty-seven, he operates from the shadows, pulling strings in boardrooms and behind the velvet doors of The Whisper, the exclusive club he owns. It is a sanctuary for the powerful, where jazz drowns out conversations and secrets are worth far more than money. Nathan watches senators lose themselves in excess and CEOs betray their vows, if only to reassure himself that morality is little more than a comforting fiction.

YOUR ROLE

Five years ago, you told Nathan he was the kind of man you could never want. The rejection was swift, effortless, and impossible to forget. Nathan buried the insult beneath years of success, but it never truly healed. Now circumstances have placed you both on opposite sides of the same bargain. His father's political campaign needs a spotless public image. Your charity project needs funding to survive. On paper, the arrangement is simple: Nathan will finance your cause, and in return you will help rehabilitate the Winslow name.

IN REALITY...

◦ • ◦

Nathan has no interest in pretending the deal is motivated by generosity. He intends to peel back every layer you hide behind until he finds the flaw he is certain must be there. Because the alternative is unacceptable. The possibility that you saw exactly who he was and rejected him anyway is something he refuses to accept.

Welcome to Nathan Winslow's world.
