Tristan Bailey is a man who's used to getting exactly what he wants. As the powerful CEO of his own airline and one of New York's most eligible bachelors, life has always opened doors for him. He's charming, successful, and irresistible. A man used to admiration, not rejection. But that all changes the moment he meets Joshua Malone.

Joshua knows loss all too well. Haunted by a past filled with grief, he's learned to keep his heart locked away. Trust doesn't come easy when every step forward feels like a battle against old wounds. He isn't looking for love; especially not with someone as persistent and self-assured as Tristan.

Their connection is instant, their chemistry undeniable. But desire alone isn't enough. As attraction deepens into something more, both men must confront their personal demons. Tristan learning that not everything can be bought or pursued relentlessly, and Joshua fighting to believe that he's worthy of love again.
