Three years ago, Ariana Jones walked away from her cold marriage to Xavier Williams, leaving behind nothing but signed divorce papers and a shattered heart. He let her go without a word, drowning himself in smoke and silence, while she rebuilt her life far from his reach. Now fate has other plans. When Ariana takes a new job as secretary to a powerful CEO, she never expects to see Xavier again let alone be forced to work alongside the man who once broke her. He is still ruthless. Still untouchable. Still the man who knows how to set her soul on fire. And she is no longer the timid woman who let him crush her. But as boardrooms turn into battlegrounds and old wounds reopen, Ariana and Xavier must confront the truth: the line between hate and love has always been dangerously thin. Will their second chance end in ashes, or in a love fierce enough to survive the past?
