The Glasshouse Mandate

About this book

Julian Mercer is Seattle's most ruthless corporate liquidator, a man who dismantles struggling family enterprises with cold precision. His carefully constructed, emotionless existence shatters when his firm targets Hastings Botanical, a historic nursery teetering on bankruptcy. The nursery belongs to Clara Hastings, the idealistic botanist Julian loved and abruptly abandoned twelve years ago to protect his own ambitions. Operating across two intertwined timelines—the passionate, doomed romance of their youth and the high-stakes corporate warfare of the present—the story reveals the layers of Julian's anti-hero persona. As Julian secretly begins sabotaging his own firm's acquisition to protect Clara's legacy, he faces fierce opposition. His tyrannical mentor, Victor Sterling, is determined to raze the property for luxury development; Clara's older sister, Sylvia, desperately wants to sell to escape mounting debts; and Julian's estranged brother, Marcus, forces Julian to re-evaluate his toxic reliance on control. To secure a second chance at love, Julian must weaponize his darkest, most ruthless professional instincts against his own employers, sacrificing his empire to prove his ultimate devotion.
