"Confidence is just foreplay for disaster," my therapist once said-right before I demonstrated the theory IRL." Nothing screams "I have my life together" quite like a broken heel, face-planting into a man so ridiculously handsome he might literally warp gravity, and my ego left somewhere back on the sidewalk-probably crying into a half-eaten croissant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Skylar Evans-fresh grad, coding wizard, and caffeine-fueled chaos agent-didn't plan to crash (literally) into Carlos Dartagnan's meticulously dangerous world. But one awkward collision sets off a chain reaction of office sparks, corporate secrets, and eyebrow-raising chemistry that no amount of coffee can debug. Between cryptic codes, shady boardroom maneuvers, and a man who looks at her like she's both the ultimate mistake and the ultimate jackpot, Skylar is about to discover that life's biggest upgrades? They come with zero instructions, a lot of sass, and way too much falling over.

"That's right," Blake said sounding bored. "Everyone is wondering if that's because you aren't over your ex-wife, Elizabeth Bell." When he said that I froze. The last thing I wanted from this interview was for him to bring up my past life. Although I changed my name to Rose Matthews, I still freeze every time someone mentions that name. I try so hard to forget my past before I was Rose but when you have so many people constantly bringing it up you can't escape it. Blake's answer brought me back to the present. "No! Honestly, I was glad to be out of that marriage. It was a burden, constantly having to be married to her. I don't have a girlfriend because I want to be able to enjoy the single life for a while. Since I was tied to someone for so long, I just want to have some freedom in my life." He said honestly. I felt France and Jay each grab my hand. I felt my heart break again. I didn't think that was possible. My heart is already broken into a million pieces and somehow he was able to break it even more... ---------------------- Can Elizabeth and Blake learn to love each other again? Or will their past catch up to them?
