Jaxon Stone: my best friend’s older brother, the grump I fell for in one reckless summer night. Now he’s back, all brooding stares and boss-level power plays… and I’m his newest employee.
I swore I’d keep my distance. Hide the truth. Protect the daughter he doesn’t know exists.
But being near him again? It’s chaos. Sparks fly. Old feelings roar back to life. I try to stay guarded, professional—but every late night at the office chips away at my defenses.
I see glimpses of the man beneath the scowl. The protector. The one who once made me feel seen.
Then a ruthless rival threatens everything Jaxon built, and I find myself fighting for him… and falling all over again.
But if the truth about Emilia comes out, it could shatter everything.
And if he walks away this time, it won’t just break my heart…but my daughters as well.
