As Deila Barbson begins her exciting new chapter in Las Vegas, an urgent message disrupts her plans. Despite being known for her stubbornness and wit, she isn't the rebellious person her family assumes, and decides to rush back to Atlanta without fully understanding the consequences. Little does she know, her past is waiting for her there, ready to confront the haunting presence that has plagued her dreams for two long years.
Haunted by betrayal, Deila finds herself on the run once more, fleeing from the one person she still yearns for, even as she struggles to breathe under the weight of their memories. Navigating through her emotions, she wonders if she can withstand the powerful connection or crumble under his touch.
The saying goes that time heals all wounds, but when a heart still bleeds at the sight of the woman who shattered it 16 months prior, questions arise. James Martin, a man of steel, feels vulnerable, remembering the night she left him without warning. He seeks answers – why doesn't he harbor anger towards her, why does his heart race at the mere sight of her, and why does Deila still have the power to render him weak, despite his reputation as a formidable CEO?
Behind the facade of an unwilling woman and a broken man lies a dark family secret that binds them together. Will their egos, or this hidden truth, keep them apart? This story, filled with mature content and intimate scenes, is not适宜阅读年龄低于18岁的读者。
