Every promotion has a price. Hers came with a doctor.
Janice Simmons has everything she fought for - a loving husband, a beautiful marriage, and the executive title she sacrificed years of sleep to earn. Then Alyears Communications flies her to a villa in Curaçao, introduces her to the firm's magnetic "company doctor," and shows her the world that comes with the corner office.
Dr. Jason Young is brilliant, disciplined, impossibly composed - and he never asks for anything. That, Janice will learn too late, is exactly how the trap works.
The deeper she's drawn into the firm's private arrangements, the more the perks begin to feel like a leash: the sessions on company time, the contracts folded into her promotion, the cameras she never noticed before. And the more she learns about the woman who held her job before her - the mentor whose death the company quietly sealed - the clearer it becomes that leaving may not be an option.
Because at Alyears, the ones who try to walk away have a way of turning up dead.
She thought she was the one calling the shots. She was being graded.
Daniel J. Smythe writes adult psychological and erotic thrillers about power, desire, and the price of ambition. The Company Doctor is his latest novel.
