"Claire Morgan has less than twenty-four hours to save the company her father left her before a crucial board vote at 3:00 PM tomorrow. But just hours after firing Ryan Carter—the stubborn engineer who dared to challenge her to her face—Claire wakes up handcuffed to him inside an abandoned car crash-test facility. Suddenly, engines roar to life, the ventilation system fails completely, and the building itself begins a systematic attempt to kill them. From toxic gas and plummeting lift platforms to sub-zero cold chambers and pools of electrified battery coolant, every potential exit leads only to another lethal trap. The once-imperious CEO is forced to entrust her life to the very man whose career she had just destroyed. Yet, amidst their repeated brushes with death, animosity gives way to trust—and trust sparks a dangerous attraction neither is willing to admit.
Then, the realization hits Claire:
Their entrapment was no accident. Someone needed her gone before the board vote. Even worse, evidence is being meticulously planted to frame Ryan as her kidnapper. Now, the man she fired is the only one who can keep her alive—and she may be the only person on earth who can prove his innocence. Because escaping the building is merely the beginning.
The true trap lies waiting for them outside."
