He's rich enough to buy the world. She's just trying to survive it. Ethan Cross has everything-power, fortune, and a reputation as the untouchable billionaire who built an empire from nothing. But after betrayal shatters his trust, he disappears into a small town, determined to keep his walls high and his secrets buried. Maya Santos has nothing but bills, double shifts, and dreams too fragile to chase. The last thing she needs is a rude stranger sitting in her section of the diner with eyes that see too much and a smile that could ruin her. They shouldn't have met. They shouldn't keep colliding. And Maya definitely shouldn't want the man who has every reason to destroy her. But the closer she gets, the more she realizes Ethan isn't just broken-he's dangerous. Because he's hiding something that could tear her world apart. And when the truth comes out, will love be enough to survive it?
