Synopsis
Description: By midnight, the database that made Victor Vance rich can no longer remember his name. Vivian Reed has spent three years being the quiet genius at Apex Dynamics—the woman who writes the code, fixes the disasters, and lets powerful men take the applause. The AUS-58M project should have been her breakthrough: a $58 million data-security triumph, a career-making bonus, and a coveted company retreat to Australia. Instead, her director steals the credit, hands her retreat place to his niece, and expects Vivian to smile through the humiliation. She does not. With one precise, carefully built encryption lock, Vivian turns Apex's crown jewel into unreadable noise. She does not destroy the project. She simply makes sure the company cannot use what it never truly owned. By dawn, Victor has called ninety-nine times, the department chat is in chaos, and a furious client is asking questions no executive can ignore. But leverage is dangerous when the people above you control HR, legal threats, and industry gossip. To win, Vivian must prove the work was hers, force public accountability, and decide whether corporate recognition is worth returning to a place that only valued her when it was afraid. Apex paid faster than it apologized. Vivian is about to learn which kind of freedom costs more. Author Biography: Logan Sterling creates immersive romance that pulls readers in and holds their attention until the end.
