Only Once

He doesn't believe in love. She refuses to give up on it.
What happens when two broken hearts collide?

Alex Rayden is a billionaire known for his icy stare, ruthless decisions, and impenetrable walls. Haunted by a past that taught him love is a weakness, he's built an empire where control is survival and emotions are liabilities. To the world, he's untouchable. To himself, he's unworthy.

Valerie Dawson is everything he is not. Compassionate, resilient, and endlessly kind, she spends her days healing others while hiding her own wounds. After surviving an abusive relationship, Valerie still dares to dream of a love that's safe, deep, and real.

When fate throws Alex and Valerie into each other's lives, sparks fly and so do the demons they have both tried to bury. But love isn't a fairytale when your scars run deep and trust feels impossible.

They had forever in their hands. But sometimes forever happens only once.
