She brought a forty-seven-cent pen to an eight-figure meeting. Three years ago, Maya Roberts found a $40 million fraud and reported it. They destroyed her - blacklisted, bankrupted, erased. Now the only man offering her a way back wants her to spend one summer in the Hamptons as his fianc e. Cole Ashford has a forty-seven-page agreement. Physical Contact Parameters. A termination clause. Zero interest in feelings. She says no. Shouts at him in his own penthouse. Walks out. He calls her back. The deal says six months. The deal says temporary. It says this ends in September with a clean break and a wire transfer. The deal doesn't say anything about the practice kiss that stops being practice. About midnight conversations through closed doors. The slow, terrifying realization that the most dangerous thing in that house isn't the secrets she's uncovering in the foundation's books - it's the man she was never supposed to fall for. Maya always finds the truth. This time, the truth leads to someone inside Cole's family. Someone willing to destroy everything to keep it buried. She packs in seven minutes. Leaves the ring. Keeps the pen. He drives to Queens. Tropes: Strategic proximity - Billionaire - Forced proximity - Opposites attract - Touch her and die - He falls first Heat level: Steamy / explicit scenes
