Overview

He's known as the Oracle for a reason. He can see the future of the markets-but he never saw her coming. Elena Vance is a woman holding onto the wreckage of a dream. Her father's legacy, a revolutionary emotional-mapping AI called Sentience, is weeks away from bankruptcy. To save it, she has to walk into the lion's den: Thorne Capital. She needs the help of Julian Thorne, the cold, calculating billionaire who dismantled her father's company a decade ago. Julian Thorne lives by the ""River Rule""-wash away the silt of the past to see the stones at the bottom. To him, Elena is a brilliant variable he needs to control. To her, he's a predator who owes her a debt that can't be paid in cash. The Deal: $200 million for her soul. When a corporate rival targets Elena's code and her life, Julian initiates a ""Hostile Takeover"" of her security, whisking her away to his fortified vineyard in Napa Valley. Within the glass walls of his sanctuary, the professional distance begins to shatter. Under the rhythmic pulse of the AI's digital heartbeat, Elena discovers that Julian isn't just protecting an asset-he's protecting a woman he's been watching for years. The Twist: The machine can see through every lie-except the ones they tell themselves. As a conspiracy of murder and betrayal surfaces, Elena and Julian must navigate a lethal maze of insider trading and federal investigations. When the Oracle finally falls, Elena must decide if she will run with the legacy her father left her, or risk everything on a high-stakes ""Buyback"" to save the man who burned her world down. In the game of risk and reward, the most dangerous gamble is the human heart.
