He's older. He's powerful. He's her boss. And falling for him could cost her everything. After years of clawing her way toward a better life, Branwen Ashford finally lands the career opportunity she's dreamed of. There's just one catch: her new boss is Alaric Kesteven, a dangerously charismatic billionaire whose icy reputation hides a grief he's never let anyone see. Alaric has no room in his carefully controlled life for distractions. Widowed and raising his young daughter alone, his company demands every ounce of his focus-until Branwen walks into his office. Curvy, confident, and utterly unimpressed by his wealth, she's the first thing in four years he's wanted and couldn't simply buy. Branwen knows better than to fall for her boss. She's fought too hard to risk it all on a man who could end her career with a single word. But when a high-stakes company acquisition forces them into each other's orbit night after night, professional distance starts to feel impossible-and dangerous. Stolen glances become lingering touches. Guarded conversations become confessions neither of them meant to make. And just when Branwen starts to believe Alaric might be capable of loving her, a secret from his past-and a sister-in-law who will do anything to protect her own place in his family-threatens to destroy everything they've built. He can give her the world. She can give him a reason to live again. But can they survive a war neither of them saw coming?
