He doesn't just steal Stephan's invite to the elite Miller Services Executive Program. He steals his name. He steals his life. There's just one problem.

But she doesn't report him-she decides to weaponize him. Now, Elias must survive in a pressure cooker swimming with high powered Execs. Caught between a drunk heir in hiding in, a brilliant engineer who sees through his disguise, and a ruthless CEO building a global nervous system, Elias has one week to pull off the ultimate corporate heist. He has to save a billion-dollar company he doesn't own, or face the debt he left behind. High Tech. Low Life. Maximum Leverage. Copyright Β© 2026 J. Donovan Strong. All Rights Reserved.

For Zaria Evans, Amsterdam University was supposed to be an escape. After losing her mother and watching her father slowly disappear into grief, she took the scholarship and ran, hoping distance could give her peace, or at least a new beginning. Instead, she walked straight into something far worse. What begins as a fresh start turns into a nightmare when Zaria becomes the focus of a psychopathic stalker who is willing to do anything to make her his. What happens when his charming deception masks the truth, a reality that no occupant of room 11C knows? There are three occupants... Though there's only room for two.
