Story Summary
Five years after the collapse of her marriage to hotel mogul Jared Cole, Selena Moore has rebuilt her life from the ground up. Now a thriving interior designer, her world is neat, controlled, and free of the cold, emotionless man who once called her his wife.
Until he returns.
When Selena is offered a dream project renovating a luxury hotel, she’s shocked to find Jared behind the deal. He claims it’s business, but Selena knows better—especially when unresolved feelings, haunting secrets, and undeniable chemistry pull them back into each other’s orbit.
But Jared is engaged to someone else. And Selena isn’t the same woman who cried alone in an empty penthouse.
As past wounds resurface, so do the truths neither of them were ready to face. Because what ended their marriage wasn't just pride—it was pain. Deep, raw, and unspoken.
Now, with a second chance staring them in the face, Selena must ask: Can she trust the man who once broke her heart? Or will loving him again destroy her completely?
