In her presence, Michael's guarded walls felt fragile, her laugh and quiet resilience pulling him closer despite the risks. She saw him as the man he once was, not the CEO he'd become, and that was both a relief and a curse.

Jules Michael was a mystery-one she couldn't help but feel drawn to, even with the shadows that seemed to follow him.
