He bought the company that destroyed her family. She entered his empire to prove he did it on purpose. Forensic accountant Mara Ellison has spent seven years tracing the collapse that ruined her father. Every trail leads to Adrian Vale - the ruthless billionaire behind one of Manhattan's most feared private-equity firms. When Vale Meridian's own audit committee hires Mara to investigate suspicious acquisitions, she finally gets access to the man she has every reason to hate. Adrian knows someone used his company as cover for something darker. Keeping Mara close is dangerous, but losing sight of her may be worse. She is brilliant, relentless, and completely unimpressed by his money or control - and the deeper they dig, the more the evidence points toward a hidden network built to manipulate companies, reputations, and lives. Their attraction is the one variable neither can contain. But when Mara uncovers a truth Adrian deliberately buried years ago, desire becomes the least dangerous thing between them. Owned by the Enemy is an interconnected dark billionaire romantic suspense featuring enemies to lovers, forced proximity, a forensic-accountant heroine, a morally gray protective CEO, explicit consent, corporate conspiracy, and a complete romantic HEA.
