LIQUID ASSETS

The art of the deal just got dirty.

Sky Moreno doesn't ask for what she wants; she hums for it. As a Siren Alpha and corporate shark, she's used to men folding like cheap card tables the moment she opens her mouth. She has a portfolio to diversify, a board to appease, and a dusty patch of Arizona ranch land to acquire. It should be a simple transaction: sign the check, take the deed, and get back to the air conditioning.

She didn't calculate for Hank.

Hank is a Wolf Omega who prefers spreadsheets to power plays. He's the logistics guy, the fixer, the one who keeps the pack from going bankrupt while the Alphas posture. He's also a biological anomaly: completely, maddeningly immune to Sky's voice. He doesn't want her money, he doesn't fear her power, and he definitely isn't selling the family farm.

But when a silent partner turns violent, threatening to drain the valley's water table and leave the pack with nothing but dust, the shark and the cowboy are forced into a hostile merger. Trapped in a "rustic" guest cabin with a corporate hit squad on their tail, Sky and Hank are about to discover that the only thing more dangerous than a bad deal is the friction between them.

In this negotiation, the bottom line is pleasure... And the price is going up.
