Marcus Holden had the world at his feet, until an old debt to the woman he loved-but never understood-brings him to his knees. Marcus Holden knows only one thing: To be wanted means to be extraordinary. Love? It's an inconvenience. And a lie. The world runs on give and take, and to be at the top means to count every transaction-carefully. Marcus has spent his entire life running away from mediocrity and love. But what about the debts he can't see? To Marcus, Celeste Shaw spells threat. She nearly destroyed his future once. When their paths cross again, he is determined to neutralize the risk before it levels his carefully crafted life. So, he seizes momentum. He offers Celeste a job. A job that keeps her close-and within sight. Celeste fell for Marcus in high school. She watched from the sidelines as he chose someone else-until an impulsive kiss and a reckless lie destroyed her future. She paid the ultimate price for loving Marcus: losing everything she ever knew. She rebuilt her life-only for tragedy to strike again. Now she's back, disgraced and desperate. Her path leads her to Marcus and a chance for redemption. A job opportunity that could fix everything-with one condition: Succeed or lose everything...again. Forced to work together, the ice begins to thaw. A shocking accident forces Marcus to confront the truth he's been blind to for thirteen years. Celeste didn't betray him. She saved him. Now, Marcus stands on the precipice with a shattered belief system and a debt he might never be able to repay. He must choose: Save the life he built. Or Celeste-who might just be his salvation. Some debts don't just follow you. They demand...everything.
