Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Elias Sterling earned his place in Boston's most exclusive financial rooms.Now someone intends to prove he never belonged there.Months after the Hartley Foundation approves its investment with Sterling Holdings, a story reaches the press accusing Elias of benefiting from a compromised due diligence process.The accusation is carefully constructed.The implication is devastating.And the easiest way to damage Elias is not to attack him directly.It is to destroy the credibility of the woman standing beside him.Cassandra Prescott has spent her entire career building a reputation for saying the accurate thing, especially when the truth is inconvenient.Now a newspaper is questioning the independence of the most important analysis she has ever produced, claiming her relationship with Elias existed before the review was complete and suggesting that she protected the man she was supposed to investigate.The allegation is false.Cassandra has the records to prove it.But defending herself means doing something she has rarely been required to do.Put herself in the report.While Elias wants to protect her from a battle created by his enemies, Cassandra refuses to become the woman standing quietly behind a powerful man while someone else defines what she did.She answers publicly.She stands behind her work.And when the people trying to force Elias out of Boston's old-money establishment come again, she does not step back.She steps closer.But the first article is only the beginning.Geoffrey Calder has spent years guarding the doors of a world Elias entered without permission. When attacking Cassandra fails, he turns to Sterling Holdings itself, using public records, old financial structures and carefully selected facts to create a story of manipulation without ever needing to prove one.This time Elias and Cassandra must fight on two fronts.His company is moving toward a new level of institutional power.Her independent practice is becoming the career she was always meant to build.And every public decision they make becomes evidence of whether two ambitious people can build separate professional identities while choosing the same private future.Because love is easy to claim when nobody is asking what it costs.Worth is proven when standing beside someone could cost you something and you stay anyway.Worth is Book Two of The Dark Horse, a contemporary old money versus new money romance featuring an established power couple, a self-made wealthy investor, an independent financial analyst heroine, Boston high society, planted scandal, reputation warfare, professional ambition, public loyalty, mature communication and a relationship becoming more permanent with every choice they make.
