Arabella Vaughn has spent twenty-three years becoming impossible to ignore... and even harder to love.
Manhattan knows her as beautiful, wealthy, and untouchable.
Damien Cross knows better.
He was her brother's best friend, her first real mistake, and the only man who ever broke her heart without giving her a reason. Now he's back in her life, richer, colder, and far too interested in everything she's tried to forget.
When their families force them onto the same billion-dollar project, old sparks ignite beneath years of resentment. Every argument pulls them closer, every glance exposes what they're both trying to hide, and every moment alone threatens to undo the distance they fought so hard to create.
But Damien's return comes with questions Arabella never stopped asking and feelings neither of them can keep buried.
Arabella can survive Damien hating her.
What she can't survive is being drawn back to the one man she never truly stopped wanting.
