Description: Maya Bennett has spent five years as Adrian Sterling's executive assistant, surviving impossible deadlines, his ruthless moods, and the kind of overtime that eats every hour of her life. Then one disastrous printer mistake sends a scandalous office romance straight to his desk, and Maya's carefully controlled routine collapses in a single afternoon. Embarrassment turns to exhaustion, then to anger. When Maya quits Sterling Market Group, she expects to finally get her life back. Instead, Adrian keeps pulling her into his orbit with late-night calls, gala invitations, designer clothes, and a possessive attention that makes it harder to remember why she wanted to leave. Just as Maya starts rebuilding her confidence, old flames and office rivals stir up fresh humiliation. Vivian Cross wants to tear her down in public. Julian Hayes wants to rewrite the past. And Adrian, the man who never wastes words, keeps pushing closer until his cold, unreadable mask starts to crack. Then he does the one thing Maya never saw coming: he takes her back to the Sterling family estate and announces that they are getting married. Now Maya has to decide whether Adrian Sterling is another disaster she should run from, or the one man dangerous enough to make leaving impossible. Author Biography: Charlotte Reed specializes in family drama romance with secrets, betrayal, and the redeeming power of love.
