Childhood rivals turned corporate competitors, and then more. She's brilliant, fierce, and utterly impossible. He's infuriating, magnetic, and knows exactly how to push her buttons. Summer and Lawrence have spent years one-upping each other-until a high-stakes international assignment forces them into close quarters. Seven countries. Endless temptation. And a forbidden heat that neither can resist. Can they survive the allure of desire, the thrill of competition, and the memories that haunt them... without losing themselves-or each other?

I can save almost anyone's heart-except the one that mattered most. On my twenty-seventh birthday, my husband Spencer collapsed and died in my arms, leaving me with nothing but the echo of his love and the ghost of a future we never had. Two years later, I'm still running-from the grief that won't let go, through endless shifts, sleepless nights, and the sterile walls of Cedars-Sinai. But when a new case rips open old wounds-and an unexpected connection slips past my defenses-I'm forced to face the cracks in my armor. Do I keep surviving in the shadows of the past... or finally fight for the chance to live-and love-again? Because the man I can't stop wanting is my sister's ex- my secret first love- and worse, the one who never got over her.

He was my father's best friend. My mentor. My boss. And the only man I could never have. ❄️ Snow Noelle Season has spent her entire life proving she belongs. The daughter of one of New York's most respected attorneys, she's determined to build a name that isn't borrowed from her family. Brilliant, ambitious, and relentless, she lands a coveted position at the city's most prestigious law firm-where the future she's worked for is finally within reach. Then she walks into the firm's training program and comes face-to-face with the one man she's spent years admiring from a safe distance. Henry McClean. Her father's oldest friend. A legendary attorney. The mentor who taught her everything about the law. The man who has always treated her like she was off-limits. Twenty years older and bound by vows he refuses to betray, Henry knows exactly where the line is. But every late night preparing cases, every hard-fought victory, and every battle of wills draws them closer to the one mistake neither of them can afford to make. Snow has a fiancé. Henry has a wife. Their families are intertwined. Their reputations are everything. And one reckless choice could destroy the lives they've spent decades building.
