The CEO Scented Her First

She built her empire on one secret. He scented it the moment she walked in. Sloane Veira has spent fifteen years making herself untouchable. The independent designation certificate. The firm she built from nothing. The methodology that no one in institutional finance has been able to replicate - until Cael Ashford read her deal documentation eighteen months ago and couldn't stop thinking about it.
Now she's sitting across from him in a boardroom on the forty-second floor, and her suppressant patch failed at four fifty-seven this morning, and the most dangerous alpha in the city just took his second breath. He knows. Cael Ashford built his pack charter specifically so designation would never be a weapon in his firm. He has thirty days to disclose a fated bond recognition before the charter requires him to act.
He intends to run the cleanest due diligence process of his career and let the partnership close on merit alone. He intends a lot of things. What he doesn't intend: to find the carve-out provision in a regulatory notice before she calls him. To read forty-seven pages of her data sourcing the morning she sends them. To sit at the head of a boardroom table for nineteen minutes while she dismantles a legacy investor's challenge with forty-three pages of documentation - and understand, watching her do it, that he has been failing her in the exact way he built his entire career to prevent.
The bond is the easy part. The harder part is two people who built their professional lives on the same fear, in opposite directions, finding out what happens when the structure runs out and the only thing left is the choice. The CEO Scented Her First is a scorching, slow-burn omegaverse paranormal romance for readers who want their alphas precise and their omegas unassailable. Complete standalone.
