Won a $1B Deal, Got Fired. The Patent Was Mine

After spending three months landing a $1 billion project for Vertex Design Group, architectural genius Lucas is fired by his boss, Frank. His $5 million bonus is stolen, his work is claimed by others, and even his girlfriend Sarah leaves him for Chris, the incompetent coworker who replaced him. But the core patent behind the project belongs to Lucas alone—and its license has already expired. Armed with his patents and hard data, Lucas fights back against industry blacklisting and false accusations, founds Aurora Design Studio, and wins over $10 billion in projects. But as the Bay Crossing Bridge brings a new challenge, can a man who trusts only numbers learn to trust people—and life—again?
