Six years ago, Stone Sterling disappeared without a single word. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence, and a heartbreak Maddy Hart swore she'd never let anyone cause again. Now he's back. Richer. Colder. More dangerous than the man she used to love. And he's holding the one thing that could save her company a contract worth millions, with his name on every page. She marches into his office ready for a fight. What she gets instead are two words that stop her cold: "Marry me." She refuses. He offers her something else: six months, working side by side, professional and nothing more. She should say no. She says yes. But Stone's disappearance was never about falling out of love. It was about a secret dangerous enough to destroy them both and the person who forced him to leave has spent six years waiting for him to make the same mistake twice. Now the warnings have started again. Someone is watching every move they make. And when Maddy finally learns who's really behind the threats, she'll discover the truth is closer than either of them ever imagined. Close enough to already be inside the room.
