CORPORATE DOSSIER • VANGUARD GLOBALThe Golden Boy of Strategy & AcquisitionsTo everyone on the 14th floor, Tristan Vance is the textbook star associate.

You're not going home tonight."
His breath is uneven against your hot cheek. The front door smart-lock is engaged, your phone is sitting on his nightstand, and his fingers tighten on the dark silk tie...
