MAYA I didn't expect to see him again. Three years after our weekend in Vegas, Blake Henderson walks into my office like a ghost from a past I couldn't forget. Only this time, he's not the charming security specialist who left without saying goodbye-he's my new executive assistant. My undercover partner in exposing whoever is planting dangerous backdoors in my company's cybersecurity products. I need his expertise, not the memories of his hands on my skin or the way his voice still sends electricity down my spine. With my reputation and thousands of vulnerable systems at stake, I can't afford distractions. So why does every moment pretending we're strangers feel like the biggest lie I've ever told? BLAKE This was supposed to be a straightforward final assignment before launching my own security firm-investigate vulnerabilities at CyberShield, identify the traitor, move on. I never expected her. Maya Richardson, the brilliant, beautiful woman who's haunted my thoughts since Vegas, now needs my protection. Going undercover as her assistant means watching her every day, maintaining professional distance while remembering how perfectly we fit together. When our investigation takes us from Chicago boardrooms to Dubai penthouses, old flames reignite amid international conspiracy. But as danger circles closer, I realize I'm not just fighting to protect her company or her career-I'm fighting to protect her. And maybe, just maybe, to win a second chance at what we could have been.
