Star-Crossed Bosses
Two empires. One elevator. No surrender.
When a hostile takeover forces rival CEOs Vivienne Marchetti and Julian Cross into the same forty-first-floor boardroom, the only thing sharper than the deal is the tension between them.

The Story
Vivienne Marchetti built her father's company into something he never dared imagine. Julian Cross inherited nothing and bought everything. For a decade they have circled the same skyline, the same deals, the same rooms — never once in the same one.
Then Cross Holdings tables an offer for the Marchetti Group that is impossible to accept and impossible to refuse. The negotiation will take place over forty floors, ninety days, and one increasingly complicated truth: the person across the table is the only one who has ever kept up.
Star-Crossed Bosses is a slow-burn told in prose, image, and motion — a story you read, and a world you enter.
