Natalia Greco didn't run from New York. She finally stopped shrinking herself for a man who couldn't handle her success.
Now she's President and COO of Chesapeake Marine Works, a company three generations in the making. All she wants is a quiet rental cottage and twelve hours of sleep before day one.
What she gets is a stranger's towel, a stranger's soap, and a stranger standing in her bathroom like he owns the place.
He kind of does.
Jackson O'Malley runs a security firm above the bait shop, and he's about to be on her company's payroll the same week she becomes its boss. Four houses, one double-booked lease, and neither of them can pretend the other is easy to ignore.
But Natalia didn't come here for a man. She came here to prove she's exactly as formidable as her resume says, to a board that's watching, and an ex who's about to realize exactly what he lost.
Jackson isn't asking her to be smaller. He's the first man who's ever asked her to take up more space.
She just has to decide if she's brave enough to let him watch her do it.
