Thirty years ago, I waited for him on prom night. He never came. Paul vanished from my life without a word, leaving me broken. I built an empire instead of chasing love. Now I'm selling my coffee company to move on. But the buyer? He's Paul's younger brother. Joe is nothing like the boy I remember. Silver-streaked hair. Piercing blue eyes. Dangerous confidence. He's hiding secrets behind that perfect smile. Dark truths about his brother's death. A niece he's been fighting to save. Business dealings that could destroy us both. I should walk away. But when he drops to one knee with a diamond ring, I can't resist. "Marry me, Valerie." He's asking for my heart when I don't even know who he really is. One brother broke me thirty years ago. Will the other brother save me? Or destroy what's left of my carefully constructed world?
