About This Audiobook
Here's the description:
A biotech engineer with hard-won stability finds her careful world upended when a venture capital firm launches a hostile takeover of her company. Rue Siebert has built a life she can count on, working at a cutting-edge food science startup. Eli Killgore is the man leading the acquisition, and he is also the one person she cannot seem to stay away from. What begins as a secret, no-strings arrangement between two people on opposite sides of a corporate battle grows into something neither planned for, forcing Rue to weigh professional loyalty against a connection that defies every boundary she has set.
Callie Dalton and Jason Clarke deliver a dual narration that gives both Rue and Eli distinct emotional depth, letting listeners experience the push and pull of their conflict from each side. Dalton captures Rue's guarded interior life with precision, while Clarke brings a low-key intensity to Eli that sells the tension without veering into melodrama. At nearly twelve hours, the pacing mirrors Hazelwood's slow-burn style well, making this a strong pick for romance listeners who prefer their chemistry complicated.
