Takeover

Claire Anderson never wanted to run a company, but after her husband's death she is the one keeping his media business alive while raising three unruly sons. Her first meeting with Tristan Miles takes place across a boardroom table, where he calmly lays out how he plans to take the business away from her.

Tristan heads acquisitions at Miles Media and has a name in New York as the takeover king. When he targets a company, he gets it. Claire walks out of that meeting despising him.

A conference in France puts the two in the same room again. The executive she vowed to avoid turns out to be charming, funny and hard to resist. The hostile bid turns into something neither expected: Claire is an older heroine with a family and no time for distractions, and Tristan has decided that what he wants now is her.

This is an enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance, steamy and driven by banter, with real emotion under the sparring. It is the second book in the Miles High Club series, alongside the books about the other Miles brothers, and it reads fine as a standalone. Expect a fast, flirtatious pace with a business fight at its core.
