BLURB:

LIES BETRAYAL MALICE GREED SACRIFICE

One contract. One year. One million dollars.

Weigh up risk versus reward …for a job you can't afford to lose.

Newly minted media CEO Mason Mercer is no stranger to wealth, power and secrets. His family have plenty of all three. Yet his most pressing task is ensuring the vacant Executive Personal Assistant role is filled with an appropriate person.

Sabrina's young sister is losing her vision—fast, and with the family uninsured, money needs to be found quickly. Morals must be challenged if not ignored altogether.

When the EPA position opens up, she is required to do the same. Ignore the red flags and charcoal soul of the man she calls, Boss.

Mason and his assistants navigate the perilous world of corporate cruelty. Yet none of it comes close to the rancour of the Mercer family’s manipulation. Loyalty. Family. Honesty. Who do you trust when you don’t know the facts, and how do you distinguish what is truth and what is merely, an illusion?

It began with a contract.

It almost ended with a card game.

What she drew with charcoal sealed their fate forever.

May the mask you show the world not drip the decay of your dishonest soul.
