There is one Partnership slot at Sterling & Cross. Two candidates. And a rivalry so vicious it leaves scars.
Sloane Mercer clawed her way out of nothing. Summa cum laude. Seven hundred billable hours a quarter. Four years of proving she belongs in a building that looked at her cheap suit on day one and asked if she was the courier. The corner office is hers. She has earned it in blood and sleepless nights and the slow, methodical destruction of every obstacle in her path.
Vance Crawford was born at the top. Legacy name. Harvard Law. A predator's smile and the arrogance of a man who has never been told no. He doesn't just want the Partnership - he wants to watch Sloane lose it.
When the firm's Managing Partner forces them to co-lead a $2.4 billion merger, the sabotage escalates. She steals his files. He changes her deadlines. She locks him out of the data room. He poaches her best associate.
Then one night, in an empty office forty-two floors above Manhattan, the hatred detonates into something neither of them can control.
What follows is not a love story. It is an addiction - brutal, explicit, and conducted in the dark corridors of a glass tower where everyone is watching and no one can know. They destroy each other by day. They devour each other by night. And when the firm offers Sloane the ultimate weapon to end Vance's career, she has to decide what matters more: the promotion that will save her family, or the man who found her worst secret and chose to protect it.
Cubicle of Lies is a standalone dark corporate romance with an enemies-to-lovers arc, explicit content, morally gray protagonists, power play, hate-fueled intimacy, and a hard-won ending. This book contains mature themes including workplace manipulation, blackmail within an intimate relationship, and aggressive sexual content. Intended for readers 18+.
