Camille Reed doesn't lose. As the sharp-tongued CEO of a legacy publishing empire, she's spent her life proving she belongs in a world ruled by men and money. But when a hostile merger forces her into partnership with tech billionaire Julian Maddox, Camille's fight to protect her company becomes something far more personal.

Julian built his empire by seeing the future—then taking it. Brilliant, obsessive, and used to getting exactly what he wants, he's orchestrated this merger for one reason: to get close to the woman who once walked away without knowing who he was. But Camille isn't just the girl from a forgotten night. She's his equal. His match. His obsession.

Now bound as co-CEOs of Inkspire Labs, they're locked in a high-stakes battle of boardrooms and power plays, where attraction simmers beneath every argument and the past lingers like a fuse waiting to be lit.

But control is a dangerous thing to crave—and the hardest acquisition may be each other.

The Art of Acquisition is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers billionaire romance featuring razor-sharp banter, emotional intensity, and a hero who never forgot—and never let go. In a world built on strategy and ambition, the boldest move of all is surrendering to the heart.
