Empire of Thorne
“Some empires are built on legacy. Others are built to burn. Loraine Thorne has spent her life trying to prove she's more than just a granddaughter. Smart, relentless, and polished to perfection, she's clawed her way through the ranks of the Thorne empire only to be passed over, again, for one simple reason: she's not a man. Enter Nathan Riggs. Ruthless. Brilliant. Dangerous. Hired by Damien Thorne himself, the same man who destroyed Nathan's family to take control of the empire and restore its power. But Nathan isn't here to build. He's here to dismantle everything the Thornes hold dear, brick by brick. What neither of them expects is each other. As war brews in the boardroom and secrets rise like smoke, Loraine and Nathan clash in a game of strategy, sabotage, and slow-burning desire. But when love begins to grow between enemy lines, it threatens to unravel everything they thought they knew. Can she protect the empire that destroyed his? Or will love be the final move in a game no one was ever meant to win? He wants revenge. She wants the throne. Neither expected love."”
