Updated at Sep 4, 2026, 15:55
Zera Smith only wants one thing a chance.At twenty-three, she has finally finished college and landed an internship at Boston Broadcasting Services. Coming from a family that has struggled for years, Zera knows she cannot afford to waste this opportunity.Then she is given an assignment that could change everything.She has to interview Austin Joe's.Twenty-five-year-old Austin Joe's is the man everyone in New York knows but nobody truly knows. He is young, powerful, wealthy, and dangerously ruthless. He has built an empire most people twice his age could only dream of, and anyone who gets on his bad side rarely gets a second chance.Austin doesn't give interviews.He doesn't explain himself.And he certainly doesn't make exceptions.So why does he agree to meet Zera?The moment they come face-to-face, Zera notices something strange.The way he looks at her.The questions he doesn't answer.The feeling that somehow, this isn't their first meeting.Zera is certain she has never met Austin before.But Austin knows better.There is something about Zera that he has never forgotten.Something from a time she doesn't even remember.As Zera is pulled deeper into Austin's world, she begins to realize that the man behind the cold reputation is hiding far more than she ever imagined. And the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to tell where business ends and something far more dangerous begins.There are people who don't want them together.There are secrets Austin refuses to reveal.And there is someone watching them closely, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Zera thought she was walking into an interview.She had no idea she was walking into a story that had started long before she remembered.Because Austin didn't agree to the interview to tell his story.He agreed because he had finally found her.And the question is...What does he plan to do now that she's back in his life?
