AcClaim by Jean Thesquare

Beatrix Winslow-Hale, a celebrated author on the brink of mainstream breakthrough, has everything she needs in life: acclaim, a fiercely protective ride-or-die bestie to ensure she gets out of the house and into the most delicious trouble, and increasing ability to build worlds without support from her wealthy family. But in a city where all is possible, a new player emerges: Dorian Wolker, a man who doesn't take makes others want to be taken. As their dance of seduction moves from opulent penthouses to contracts and requests of surrender, Beatrix's world spins out of control. Yet her partner in crime, Manon De Rochemaure, a European billionaire heiress and supermodel who wields sensuality as rebellion, stands by her side as they plot a devastating comeback. AcClaim pulses with feminist punk spirit, as the two women strategically dismantle the patriarchy by wielding sensuality, brazenness, and the power of reputation as weapons proving that men only burn witches because they fear them. It's the perfect book for people who loved Penelope Douglas's Corrupt or Megan Nolan's Acts of Desperation.
