The CEO and the Summer Intern

Margot Delacroix has exactly one summer to prove she belongs in a room full of men who don't think she should be in it. The internship at Vantry Capital was supposed to be the door. Then she met the man whose name is on the building. Callum Vantry doesn't hire interns. He was overruled. He plans to ignore her until September. He plans wrong. He is twenty years older, her boss, and the single most dangerous thing that has ever happened to her career. She is the sharpest analyst he has met in a decade, and she is young enough to ruin him. At a client retreat in a snowed-in Vermont farmhouse, the professional distance dies quietly. What starts there ends with a non-disclosure agreement in her hand and his initials already at the bottom — because the only thing he can think of to protect her is to make her disappear. She signs. She leaves. And when she comes back, she comes back as the competition.
