When my ex leaves me and my little girl penniless, the last person I expect to step in is my childhood sweetheart, Vander Moore. It's been years since he walked out of my life, and now he's barreling back into it, seeking redemption, and making me an offer I can't refuse—to become his new assistant. But everything has changed, including him. The broody, sinfully hot bad boy CEO doesn't trust anyone. Especially me. It isn't long before we're butting heads and fighting at every turn. He’s a walking red flag. One I need to stay far away from. Except when life throws me yet another curveball and my daughter and I are forced to move in with him, I start to see the man behind the mask. And all the tension and heat we've been resisting ignites, consuming us both. But with each forbidden touch and toe-curling encounter, I give him another piece of my heart. He says he'll do whatever it takes to keep me and my daughter safe. Even if it costs him everything. But there are some things even this undeniably corrupt man can't hack his way out of. And it's coming for all of us.
