What she doesn't know is that James is that man. Now locked in fierce competition for the same promotion, their rivalry burns with tension. She sees him as arrogant and insufferable. He sees the girl he never forgot. As professional stakes rise, James must decide whether to keep their past buried or risk everything by revealing the truth Madison's been searching for all along.
