Once, the name Macalister Hale was uttered in the boardroom with respect. Now, it’s whispered in disgrace at cocktail parties hosted by Boston’s elite. Scandal nearly destroyed me, but the one thing larger than my infamy is my bank account, and I’ve learned money can solve anything. Well—almost anything. Sophia Alby’s preferred currency is secrets and the way she trades information puts Wall Street to shame. This girl charges into my life and claims a partnership can restore my reputation. My downfall was swift, but with her, my climb to redemption will be greater. Our arrangement is professional. Appropriate. It has to be, because she’s half my age. But it doesn’t stop me from wanting . . . To move on. To control and indulge in her. To hear the name Macalister Hale echo in her breathy moans. But I can’t. Giving in to temptation led to my undoing before, and I won’t survive it a second time.

I only read this book because I am nosy. I hated MacAlister so much in the other books. Honestly, I was disappointed that Marist didn’t take the company and tell the whole family to fuck off. MacAlister was horrific and I was not impressed with Sophia either.
I was intrigued with Sophia and her ability to catch Macalisters attention. She knows how to present information to get his interest. She’s smart & underestimated.
This book was really a study of people attempting to manipulate one another to get what each wants. They find something in the other that is unexpected and surprising.
It is my favorite in the series and that is so surprising. I don’t usually like a redemption story and have been known to skip a book in a series with such a set up.
