Duality
Supernatural
Gabriel Q. Matheson has almost everything he wants. At only 29, his reputation as a rising star and head of Matheson Media is unparalleled, and he is slated to take over one of his largest competitors. What he wants and what he is willing to do to get it seems clear…until the beautiful yet elusive Xiomara Grant snags a coveted spot in the company with which Gabriel plans to merge. Captivated by the new arrival, and greatly attracted to the light she brings, Gabriel’s plan to be the ultimate victor in both his business and personal lives becomes shadowed by jealousy, conflict, and long-forgotten pain. With the merge tearing people apart rather than bringing them together, sides are chosen and lines are drawn. As everyone waits for the unrelenting aftermath, each assuming a place on the winning side, all eyes turn to Xiomara, who may be hiding secrets of her own. After all, light and darkness are two sides of the same coin, and Xiomara’s place and presence in Gabriel’s life could have unimagined and far-reaching consequences.
