I came to this neighborhood with a dream: to rebuild what was broken, to create a space where families could thrive, and to prove that the past doesn't define your future. But standing in front of a room full of skeptical faces, I couldn't shake the feeling that failure was waiting just around the corner.
And then Jackson Reid walked into my life. He was supposed to be my assistant-a polished man with a sharp smile and an easy charm. But Jackson wasn't who he seemed. Beneath his calm demeanor was a past tangled in secrets, and a shadow he couldn't quite escape.
Now, as sabotage and betrayal threaten to destroy everything I've worked for, Jackson and I are forced to trust each other in ways neither of us is ready for. He challenges my control, pushes past my walls, and makes me feel things I swore I'd never feel again. But just as our connection deepens, the truth of who he really is threatens to tear us apart.
The stakes have never been higher-my project, my heart, and my hope for the future all hang in the balance.
Can I trust the man who's spent his life hiding, or will his secrets ruin everything we've built together?
