Liable to Fall

In the ruthless world of high finance, precision is everything, but some numbers are designed to destroy. When an elite, independent forensic auditor is brought in to examine the books of a massive global empire, she enters with a hard-won reputation for spotting the lies no one else can see. What she does not expect is that her very presence is the foundation of a devastating trap. Someone has pre-loaded her credentials into the system weeks before her arrival, setting her up to be the perfect scapegoat for a multi-million-dollar fraud and a hostile takeover engineered from within the company’s own boardroom.At the center of this storm is the enigmatic and powerful chief executive. He is a man accustomed to absolute control, yet he is carrying a heavy burden of betrayal by those he trusted most. As the two are forced to work together in secret, after-hours sessions to uncover the conspiracy, the professional boundaries between them begin to blur. Inside dark archives and glass-walled offices high above the city skyline, a magnetic and dangerous attraction ignites-one that threatens to compromise her clinical objectivity and his hard-won composure.With an emergency board meeting looming and the architects of the frame-up closing the net, she must deploy every tool at her disposal to expose the true conspirators. In a high-stakes game where every transaction is a weapon, every look is charged with tension, and every pause is an admission of guilt, she must decide if trusting the one man she cannot calculate is her ultimate risk, or her only way out.
