The Compliance Officer: A Dark Enemies-to-Lovers Billionaire Romance (The Sterling & Croft Audits Book 1)

The boardroom smelled of lemon polish and impending ruin. Julian Croft didn't raise his voice. He simply slid a single sheet of paper across the mahogany table-and with it, erased three generations of Hale Industries in one sentence.

He was claiming her legacy. And worse-he was claiming her as part of the collateral.

Vivienne Hale has spent eight years holding together a company designed to collapse. She never expected the one person competent enough to see what she's been seeing to be the man sent to destroy everything.

He didn't expect her to hand him the knife.

Now Julian Croft-the cold, precise, devastatingly controlled compliance officer who cites contract law like scripture-has assigned himself as her personal liaison. Through him. Directly.

She thought she was negotiating terms. She didn't realize she was negotiating surrender.

A dark enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance where precision is love and surrender is a negotiation.

The Compliance Officer is Book 1 in The Sterling & Croft Audits-a series of interconnected dark romances featuring morally grey heroes, steel-spined heroines, and the kind of love that requires an engagement letter.

For fans of Lauren Asher, Ana Huang, and Penelope Douglas-this dark corporate romance will keep you turning pages until the very last clause.
