A steamy, heart-melting romance that proves love doesn't follow the rules.

Adrian Blackwood doesn't do relationships, and he certainly doesn't mix business with pleasure—until Olivia Jones walks into his office. As the CEO of a global investment firm, Adrian has the world at his feet, but when a high-stakes merger gets complicated, he needs the best legal mind in Miami. Enter Olivia: a powerhouse attorney, a single mother, and his estranged daughter's best friend.

She's determined to keep their partnership strictly professional, but with every meeting, the lines blur. Adrian's no-nonsense demeanor crumbles, revealing the man behind the billionaire mask—one who's unexpectedly vulnerable, fiercely protective, and entirely irresistible. Despite their sizzling chemistry and stolen glances, Olivia knows getting involved would be a recipe for disaster.

But when a scandal threatens everything she's worked for, Adrian steps in, proving he's willing to fight for more than just the deal. He wants her. Her heart. And he's ready to win over her son, Ethan, too.
Can Olivia trust this gruff, alluring billionaire to be the man she and her son need? Or will their red-hot attraction lead to heartbreak as the clock ticks down on the biggest merger of their lives?
