Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She is no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed.

But boardroom battles are not the only thing waiting for them. Because every heated exchange is laced with tension that makes breathing difficult. Every glance lingers too long. Every accidental touch threatens to awaken something they both tried to bury. Liam is determined to prove he is no longer the boy who broke her.

But in a world where pride is power and desire is dangerous, old wounds reopen, truths begin to surface, and the line between love and hate slowly disappears.
