After escaping a five-year relationship that slowly turned toxic behind closed doors, she's focused on work, healing, and pretending she's okay long enough to eventually believe it herself. The last thing she needs is distraction-especially not one wrapped in old money, sharp suits, tattoos, and a dangerous smile. Kai Valentine has spent years running from the world his powerful family built. While the tabloids painted him as reckless and impossible to control, Kai disappeared across countries chasing freedom from the pressure, expectations, and cold perfection attached to the Valentine name. Then Zuri becomes his newest luxury relocation consultant. What starts as mutual irritation quickly turns into something far more intense when their undeniable attraction begins cutting through every wall they've carefully built around themselves. Because beneath Kai's arrogance is a man carrying more anger, loneliness, and pressure than anyone realizes. And beneath Zuri's beauty and professionalism is a woman still learning how to trust herself again after love nearly destroyed her confidence. Some people fall in love softly. Zuri and Kai were never going to be those people.
