THE CEO ONE-NIGHT STAND

PROLOGUE

THE CEO ONE-NIGHT STAND

Elena Vance thought she had found her forever.

After four years of loving David Carter, she was only three months away from becoming his wife. Until she walked in on him with the one person she trusted almost as much as him, her best friend, Sienna Moore.

Heartbroken and with nowhere to go, Elena spends the night in a bar, trying to forget the man who shattered her heart.

Then she meets Ashton Black.

A handsome billionaire with a perfect life that isn't really his own. His powerful parents are forcing him into an arranged engagement with Vivienne Laurent, a woman he never chose.

Two strangers.

Two broken hearts.

One unforgettable night.

They leave each other the next morning, believing they will never meet again.

But five years later, Elena walks into Blackwell Holdings for her first day as Ashton's secretary.

He doesn't recognize her.

She recognizes him immediately.

And there's something else Ashton doesn't know.

The little boy Elena has raised for the past five years is his son.

Now Elena must work beside the man who unknowingly changed her life while keeping the biggest secret of all.

As if that isn't complicated enough, Ashton is already engaged to Vivienne Laurent, a woman who has no intention of losing the powerful future she was promised.

Then David and Sienna return.

The betrayal Elena thought she had buried begins crawling back into her life, bringing old wounds, jealousy, and unfinished business with it.

And when David and Vivienne discover that Elena stands between them and everything they want, they form an unexpected alliance.

Soon, Elena finds herself trapped between the past she escaped, the man she never expected to meet again, and a secret that could change all their lives.

Because secrets don't stay buried forever.

And when Ashton finally discovers the truth about Elena and Milo, everyone will have to face the question they've been avoiding:

Can a love born from one unforgettable night survive five years of secrets, betrayal, and a woman determined to keep them apart?
