Exchange Rate: A Romance Novel

By Lacy Summers

The Price of Power Is Control. She Paid It. Now She Owns It.

Lena doesn't just manage money-she is the market. A brilliant, ruthless financial CEO, she operates with clinical precision, a philosophy she learned in the most unforgiving classroom: her own dark, desperate past.

Once, she traded her body for silence, a transaction of survival that bought her freedom from a crushing secret. Now, she's amassed a staggering empire, driven by a possessive, calculated partnership with Julian, the only man who truly understands the complexity of her command.

Julian is her anchor and her enforcer, a man whose dark, satisfied obsession matches her own. Their life together is defined by control, both in the boardroom and behind closed doors, where the power exchange is as sharp and intentional as a takeover bid.

When the ghosts of that past life surface, threatening to destabilize her meticulously built world, Lena must face her greatest fear: losing control. But she's no longer the victim. She's the predator.

Her greatest transaction wasn't the money she earned-it was the clinical distance she gained over her own trauma. And she'll crush anyone who tries to break her exchange rate.
