He didn't come back for forgiveness. He came back for everything.

Seven years ago, Nicholas Reed vanished from Saskia Wellington's life without a word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence and the wreckage he left behind.

She was in love. Certain he was her future.

Then he disappeared. And Saskia learned to stop waiting for answers that would never come.

She rebuilt herself. Clawed her way up to CEO of her family's company. Became the woman everyone underestimated and no one could ignore. She stopped wondering why he left.

She almost stopped thinking about him entirely.

Now Nicholas is back. Colder. Harder. Richer. And powerful enough to destroy everything she's built with a single signature.

His terms are devastatingly simple: work directly under him for eighteen months. Or watch him dismantle her family's legacy piece by piece.

She should hate him. She does hate him.

But hatred doesn't explain the way her pulse spikes when he walks into a room. The way his voice still moves through her like a current. The way her body remembers every touch, every promise, every single lie.

Nicholas says he's here for the company.

But he looks at her like he's here to finish what he started.

Eighteen months of boardroom warfare. Eighteen months of dangerous proximity. Eighteen months of pretending the heat between them is just unfinished business when they both know it's something far more combustible.

He wants her compliance. She wants answers. Neither of them is prepared for what happens when the walls come down and the past catches fire.

Because Nicholas Reed isn't just back for business.

He's back for her.

And this time, he's not leaving without the truth. Even if it destroys them both.

Some betrayals don't stay buried. Some verdicts demand everything.

This is a spicy second chance romance with forced proximity, a morally grey billionaire who will stop at nothing, a fierce heroine who refuses to break, scorching boardroom tension, one seriously satisfying grovel, and a guaranteed happily ever after worth every page.
