In the City of London, the scent of money and power lingers in the corridors of the shiny office buildings and clings to the suits of the men who work in them. Chasing that scent is the only thing that matters. But not to Katy Daly. She has spent her life working in the City, but wealth and power are things granted to other people. Her childhood was shattered by the pursuit of them, and since then she's coasted along on a course of risk-avoidance and underachieving. Then Katy starts working for Riley Daniels, the beautiful and charismatic CEO of Byrsa, one of the most successful yet secretive tech companies in the world. Katy can't help but be fascinated by this clever, fiercely ambitious woman making it in a man's world. Riley has a way of making her wonder if there could be more to life than letting other people shape your destiny. But power comes at a cost. As Katy is drawn deeper into Riley's intoxicating world, she is forced to confront who she is, who she has become, and how far she will go to protect Riley's secrets - and her own.
