When a chance courthouse encounter reunites a brilliant prosecutor with the infuriatingly charming billionaire who stood her up nine years ago, the sparks between them ignite all over again—except now he's a key witness in her case and she's determined to keep things strictly professional. Kyle Rhodes may have spent time in prison and emerged a changed man, but Rylann Pierce isn't about to let their undeniable chemistry derail her career or her carefully constructed boundaries. What unfolds is a delicious battle of wills between two people who can't seem to stop wanting each other, even when the stakes have never been higher. This is a second-chance romance that crackles with witty banter, sizzling tension, and the irresistible pull of unfinished business.
