The Restaurateur

My name is Mateo Saint, founder of PEZA. Running my restaurant chain has lost its thrill, so I’m looking for a new adventure — something that tests my limits. I want to create a physical challenge like the world has never seen. All I need to do it is a mountain.

I’ve got just the property in mind: pristine rock-climbing land. I’ve even sweet-talked the owner, Damon, into selling.

The only problem is his spoiled, rich bitch daughter, Elizabeth. Not “Liz,” and not “Beth.” “Elizabeth.” She made sure I knew that when she spit the land deal back in my face, with her snobby nose up in the air.

There’s a way for everything I’ve built to end here. I can even get the Syndicate on board, with its trillion dollars in assets, to build something truly remarkable on Damon’s mountain.

This could be what we’ve all been waiting for … if not for Elizabeth.

What the hell. I guess I can attempt to talk some sense into her. If, that is, we can stand each other long enough to try.
