They say the heart makes its choice in a heartbeat-but sometimes it makes it after it's been shattered.
Ivy Blue Cortez learned that the hard way. Betrayed by the man she loved and she trusted, she didn't just lose a relationship-she lost her sense of safety. For a moment, she broke. Then she did something far more dangerous.

Now, Ivy doesn't bleed for anyone. She doesn't beg, chase, or forgive easily. She walks into rooms like she owns them, sharper, colder, and utterly unforgettable.
And then Damon Alexander Moretti returns.
A ruthless CEO with a devil's reputation and a past carved in ambition, Damon comes back to Milan after three years away, expecting control, power, and order. What he doesn't expect is her. One look is all it takes-one heartbeat-and the balance he's built so carefully begins to tilt.
