For fans of Severance and The Girl Before, The Secretary is a razor-sharp psychological thriller where ambition is a trap, power is a game, and saying “yes” could cost everything.“I’ve been watching you. Waiting for you. And now, it’s your turn.”
There’s no escaping Shergar Corp.
Lena Blackwell wanted a fresh start. A new city. A new job. A clean slate.
Then she met Gillian Martin.
Polished. Poised. Perfect. A little too perfect—like she’s rehearsing lines someone else gave her. Like she isn’t real anymore.
And Ellis Harrison is the reason why.
Shergar Corp’s founder. The man who built everything. The man who decides who lives and who vanishes. He doesn’t make threats. He makes people disappear.
Then Lena finds the note.
Do you have what it takes to be in my world? Check yes or no.
It reads like a dare.
It functions like a death sentence.
The deeper she digs, the more the walls close in. The more she resists, the more she loses—her past, her choices, her way out.
Because Gillian once stood where Lena stands now. And if Lena isn’t careful, one day, someone new will stand where she is.
Holding the same note.
Reading the same words.
Asking the same question.
And then?
They’ll bury what’s left of her.
Bestselling author Britney King pulls you into Shergar Corp—a place where ambition is a trap, memories are rewritten, and saying yes might be the last choice you ever make…
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Lena and Ellis. She is a girl who is desperate to start her life over again. She wants a fresh start in a new city with a new job. When the opportunity arises for her to take a job as Ellis Harrison, the CEO and founder of Shergar Corp she takes the opportunity. An opportunity she might live to regret. If she gets to live that is. Shergar Corp is a place you don’t escape. They change people and she realizes this when she meets the all to perfect Gillian Martin. She is a very perfect person. To perfect and polished in fact. It’s almost like she is being fed lines on what to say. Ellis Harrison is the reason she is the way she is. The man gets to decide who lives and dies after all. Now Lena has found a note: Do you have what it takes to be in my world? Check Yes or No. That is a bout all I can tell you about this book. I think you need to go into it blind and buckle up. It’s about to be one bumpy ride. I will warn you that you will have to know what the heck is going on, and not be able to lay this book down.
Britney King lives in Texas with her family, two literary dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree. When she’s not wrangling these characters, she writes psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers that dive deep into the complexities of human nature.
