I didn't come to New York to fall in love. I came here to disappear.
Mia Monroe has spent two years outrunning the ghosts of her past-the ones with her mother's voice and her father's silence. She doesn't believe in fairytales, happy endings, or men who mean what they say. Her walls are high, her heart locked tight, and her new job at Blake Enterprises is supposed to be a fresh start.
Until he walks in.
Adrian Blake.
CEO. Billionaire. Beautifully controlled chaos. He's everything Mia doesn't trust-powerful, unreadable, and just a little bit cruel. The kind of man who could ruin a woman without ever touching her... and knows exactly how to do it.
But there's something behind his polished facade-something broken, something dangerous, and Mia can't look away. He doesn't ask questions, and she doesn't offer answers. It should be simple.
It never is.
As lines blur and desire spirals into obsession, Mia is forced to confront the truth: Adrian may not be the villain of this story.
She might be.
And some things can't be outrun-especially when they feel like home.
A slow-burn, emotionally charged romance about trauma, temptation, and two flawed souls who were never meant to collide... but can't seem to stay away. Perfect for readers who crave morally grey characters, complex emotional stakes, and chemistry that cuts deep.
With a twist.

Life had taught her that trusting too deeply could lead to heartbreak, and dreams didn't always come true. She knew it was safer to rely on herself, to focus on her work and keep her emotions locked away. But a quiet longing stirred beneath her resolve, whispering dreams of a love so deep and true that it would feel like home. And then, there was Alex Walker. From the moment their paths crossed, something shifted in Mia-a warmth, a spark she couldn't ignore. Alex was magnetic yet grounded, a man of strength and subtle tenderness, with eyes that seemed to see into the guarded corners of her heart. He had a way of challenging her walls with every smile, every unspoken word, breaking down the defenses she'd built over time. Mia didn't believe in fairy tales, and yet, as she looked out into the future, there was a flicker of hope, fragile yet undeniable, that maybe she had found something real.

Mia's journey would ask her to let go, to be open, to choose love even when it felt uncertain. And in the quiet moments, as she dared to hope, a single, fervent thought lingered in her mind: Could he be mine? ꧁༒☬ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ☬༒꧂ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
