Claiming Raine: 3, #1 – Kobo eBook

Alex and Raine Jennings are the golden couple of the corporate oil landscaperuthless, wealthy, and completely untouchable. For thirteen years, they have run a flawless boardroom strategy: whenever a competitor digs in, Alex gives a nod, and Raine steps forward. With her low, mesmerizing voice and commanding presence, she folds the most dangerous men in the industry like lawn chairs.

And their favorite target is Mike Sternsix foot six of pure muscle, money, and structural menace.

When Mike pulls a savage power move to seize a coastal refinery out of pure spite, Alex doesn’t panic. He smiles. Driven by massive corporate hubris, Alex miscalculates the ultimate leverage. He commands Raine to go to Mike’s private penthouse alone. He tells her to dress for the room, display her curves, and demand the asset backdollar for dollar.

Alex believes he holds the leash. He thinks they are milking a powerful man’s infatuation for easy billions.

But Mike Stern hasn’t been outmaneuvered. He’s been counting. He engineered the purchase for the sole purpose of getting Raine alone in his shadow, away from her husband’s low chair. And when Raine steps into that quiet office, she realizes the game isn’t about business contracts anymore.

It’s about a cold thumb on her pulse, a terrifying spike of forbidden heat, and a quiet, devastating choice that will alter her marriage forever.
