Novels by Tyler E. Harrie

Nyra’s point of viewI’m reviewing charts when the door to my private office swung open without a knock.What is up with people entering my office without knocking first. I rise to give the person a piece of my mind but, I stalled when I see who the person is.My father.“Dad?” my voice rises. “What are you doing here?”He shuts the door behind him, and darted his eyes around as if confirming something he already knew.“I came because we need to talk,” he says. “Privately”Bad sign.Very bad sign.“I’m working,” I reply carefully. “If you need something—”“Yes, I do need something.” He stepped closer, lowering his voice. “Money.”Of course.I hadn’t seen him in years and he never bothered to look for me or ask about my welfare. But I could count on him to be the greedy motherfucker I always knew he was.“What did you do this time?” I ask slowly.“I didn’t do anything,” he snaps. “But people are asking questions. Dangerous people.”“Questions about what?”He leans in. “About the diseas

Kelly Grant’s point of view.I spot him before he sees me.Xavier.He still had the same confident walk, same eyes that always felt like they were staring straight into your soul. My heart fluttered like it had forgotten how to beat.He turned—and when his gaze locks on mine, those full lips pull into a slow, surprised smile.“Kelly?” his voice dipped, warm. “Wow…. look at you.”I try to act casual, leaning on the doorway of the research wing. “Yeah. It’s me, back from the land of croissants and rude waiters.”He stepped closer, really looking at me, and suddenly, the hallway felt too small.“I heard you left for good,” he said. “Why did you come back.”Because she owes me.Because this empire should have been mine.Because you are here.But I give him the easy answer. I shrug. “I missed the action, the rush of chasing the impossible. And maybe….” My eyes met his. “…I missed some people.”His brows lift slightly, and a flicker of something unreadable crossed his face.“You’re just in

Ardonis’ point of view.The e-mail for the shareholders and executives meeting seemed urgent. I almost ran to the boardroom.The room is full. Executive heads of the major departments are all here. Every face is turned toward the woman at the head of the table.Nyra, sitting majestically like she was born to rule, the queen of a corporate kingdom. The large screen behind her glowed with numbers I no longer had any control over.She tapped the mic. “There have been updates to the company budget and resource allocation,” she said, her tone calm and businesslike. “Naturally, some roles will be restructured.”“First, director Chan, head of Media and publicity, you will be moved to taxes. I have not seen any significant improvements in your department since you were given a hundred million dollars in the resource allocation last year.”Director Chan starts to protests, but she cuts him off. “If you are unhappy with your new position director, you are welcome to quit.” That shut him up inst

Nyra’s point of viewThe longe was warm, cozy, and far too elegant for a simple work dinner. Xavier definitely had this planned out.“Relax Nyra,” he said as he sat across from me. “It’s just dinner. I promise I don’t bite—unless you ask me to.”“Xavier.” I groan. “You’re too much.”He raised both hands like he was innocent. He wasn’t.The waiter left once our meals were placed, and Xavier immediately leaned forward, chin resting on his fist.“You look tired. Long day?”“Long week,” I corrected, opening my laptop beside my plate. “The new mutation analysis isn’t matching our projections. We’ll need to double check the enzyme markers.”He frowned. “Work? During dinner?”“This is a work dinner.”“For you,” he said with a slow grin. “For me its dinner with the most brilliant—and stubborn—woman I know.”“You’re not gonna stop, are you?”“Not until you give me a chance.”I sighed and stabbed a piece of food.He laughed softly. “How’s Lucien? Still asking when I’m bringing him more chocolat

Ardonis’ point of view.“Mr. Stepanov, I’ve compiled a list of what I could find on Nyra Hearthe.” The private detective I hired James, said.“Let’s get into it then.” I gestured for him to sit and took a seat across from him, heart racing.“Miss Hearthe keeps a very private life,” he began carefully. “Public records are limited. She avoids social media, keeps her home address off databases. Only thing I got is business related.”“Go on...”“She spent a few years working in an underground lab making drugs for simple diseases think over the counter drugs like paracetamol, Ibuprofen, aspirin etc. But here’s how she made her billions; get this, she took those basic medications and carried them to the next level. Her brand of these over-the-counter drugs work in less than a minute with no side effects what so ever.”“How is that even possible?” I ask.“Only she knows, sir.”“Did you get anything on a man, Xavier Locke?” My voice came out strained.He is silent, then, “He’s her lead scient

Nyra’s point of view.I close the door behind me.CEO.Funny how the title falls into place. It took five years of blood, grit, and strategy to get here. But the single look he gave me in the board room…. for a moment, almost made me feel like that girl again. The one who walked down the aisle hoping her vampire husband would love her.I remind myself: that girl is gone.The office is elegant and modern, overlooking the city. Mine now. I own everything.Six years.Six years since I ran away with nothing but the clothes on my back and a few dollars I had saved up that could barely cover the hospital birth. Lucien was born in a private clinic under a false name. The safest choice.He came out quiet. Almost didn’t cry. Just opened his eyes and stared at me…. like he understood the world already. My boy.The first few months were survival. But I knew science. I knew formulas. My father might have sold his soul to create something that kills…. but I used what I learned from labs to save.
