The Heir Apparent
Rowan Black
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
I spent three years building his son’s career. It took me exactly forty-five seconds to surrender to his father.
Norah Vane is brilliant, ruthlessly competent, and completely exhausted. For three years, she’s been the invisible ghostwriter and strategist keeping her incompetent boyfriend, Caleb, afloat at his father’s massive logistics empire. But when she catches Caleb cheating on her with an intern at a company gala, Norah doesn’t cry. She locks him in a coat check, pockets the key, and walks away.
Looking for a quiet place to process the implosion of her life, she wanders into a secluded study and finds Vance Blackwood.
At fifty-four, Vance is a self-made billionaire, a ruthless corporate titan, and Caleb’s terrifying father. He sees the furious, devastated woman in front of him and recognizes a kindred spirit. What starts as a moment of reckless, revenge-fueled passion on a heavy oak desk quickly becomes a dangerous proposition.
Fired and evicted by Caleb, Norah accepts Vance’s offer to move into his remote, cliffside glass fortress as his private archivist and strategic consultant. By day, she dismantles his competitors and proves her brilliant corporate mind. By night, the oak door connecting their bedrooms is left unlocked, and she submits to his demanding, intoxicating control.
But Vance Blackwood doesn’t just want a strategist. He wants a legacy, and he has orchestrated a terrifying, secret plan to ensure Norah carries the heir his son could never be.
When Norah uncovers the depth of his deception, she doesn't run. She turns the tables. Vance is about to learn exactly what happens when the woman he tried to own decides to conquer his empire—and bring him to his knees.
