My merger brought back the woman I lost. And the son I never knew I had.
She was the one that got away. Now she’s the one I can’t escape.
Piper Walsh walks back into my boardroom like she owns it—same fire, same smile that wrecked me years ago.
Only this time, she’s here to fix my company, not my heart.
She’s the last person I should work with.
Too smart, too beautiful, too damn capable of getting under my skin.
We’re trapped together for three weeks in the same apartment—thanks to the merger from hell.
Every late-night argument turns into a dare. Every glance feels like déjà vu.
I tell myself I don’t care why she disappeared after college.
Until I find the reason—a four-year-old with my eyes and her laugh.
Suddenly, I’m not the man who lost her.
I’m the man who has everything to lose if she walks away again.
And this time, I’ll burn every bridge I own before I let her go.
