*She ran for a new life. He followed with a contract-and a past she never saw coming.* When Everly Blossom moves to Canada, she's determined to leave behind the shadows of her father's legacy and start fresh. In her twenties, with a heart full of hope and a resume of regrets, she finally lands a job, new friends, and a taste of freedom. But everything changes the night of the party. There, she reunites with an old friend-and locks eyes with a stranger who feels more like a warning than a man. Vincent is cold, unreadable, and far too interested in her. Weeks later, when her boss urges her to transfer... to his company, she walks away without a second thought. Then he finds her again. At the mall. In her new job. Still watching. Still offering. Still refusing. Until the night he stops asking-and starts taking. Dragged into his world and bound by a contract she never wanted to sign, Blossom is forced to confront the one truth she's spent her life running from: You don't choose men like Vincent. They choose you.
