SEASONS OF LOVE
A story of two strangers. A contract. And a love that was never part of the plan.
Stella Marlowe never imagined her life would lead here-standing in the middle of Manhattan's most powerful estate, hiding her grief behind a polite smile. Just months ago, she lost her brother, sister-in-law, and young niece in a tragedy that shattered her world. With her heart still in pieces and her job lost to endless hospital visits, all she wants is a fresh start. Instead, she ends up taking care of a little girl the world doesn't even know exists... in the home of a man as unreadable as stone.
Damian Sinclair doesn't make mistakes. Not anymore. Once warm and open, he shut himself off after betrayal by the two people he trusted most. Now he lives behind closed doors, raising his late sister's daughter in secrecy. But when a single photo threatens to expose the truth, his only option is damage control-and the woman who unknowingly walked into his carefully guarded life.
The Sinclairs are untouchable. Stella comes from a world far removed from theirs. She's not meant for scandal, fake headlines, or whispered deals made behind boardroom doors. And yet, when two broken people collide under the weight of a lie, something unexpected begins to grow-trust, understanding... maybe even love.
But what happens when pretending becomes too real?
Can a girl who's lost everything find something worth staying for?
Will a man who's locked his heart away risk letting someone in?
As seasons shift-from the bustling skyline of New York to the serene summers of Santorini-so do the lines they promised never to cross.
Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories begin with the ones we never saw coming.
