Ghosted. It wasn't the first time and probably not the last, but damn if Cassandra Williams would give the same guy the opportunity for a replay. Having shaken off a less-than-ideal childhood and created a successful career in fashion, Cassandra is now poised to embark on the professional step that will set her up to launch her own line. Except that next step turns out to be working with him...the mystery man of the dreamy eyes and rumbling baritone who once spent fifteen minutes with her on a balcony sharing dreams, laughter, and a visceral attraction. She thought he could be the one; he seemed to feel the same. He promised to call. He didn't. Ten years later, CEO of HeirLoom Textiles, Abe Walker, dreamy eyes and rumbling baritone intact, holds the key to Cassandra's career. But she holds the key to his legacy as Executive Creative Director of HeirLoom's inaugural apparel launch. Cassandra has no time for the hot gazes and burning attraction that still smolder between Abe and her. Especially when that attraction is buttressed by the cold, distant determination that comes with inheriting a billion-dollar empire that he never wanted. Something else Abe never wanted? An arranged engagement that he swears he's not on board with. All Cassandra wants to do is keep building her brand and secure her future; she's had enough uncertainty in her life. She doesn't need more. Especially not the kind attached to sultry, sexy Abe Walker. But the further their project progresses and the more she learns about the last ten years, the more she wants to comfort him...and herself...in his arms, in his bed, in his life. He says he wants the same...but does she dare risk it all again? Ten years changes a person. Right? (This is a second-chance romance with a splash of intrigue.)
