About this book

Paradise A self-made corporate powerhouse and a refined department store heiress are thrust back into each other's lives when a hostile takeover threatens her family's legendary business—and reignites a passion they've spent years trying to forget. Years ago, Matthew and Meredith defied everything for each other, only to crash spectacularly, leaving scars that run deep. Now, as they're forced to negotiate across the boardroom (and their hearts), all those complicated feelings come roaring back, mixing desire with doubt and bittersweet memories with second thoughts. Will they find the courage to trust each other again, or will old wounds prove too much to overcome?

AI-generated synopsis

Reading soundtrack

Listen while you read

Spotify
yearningintensesensualconflictedmagnetic

Sultry indie-pop and R&B with electric tension—think smoldering vocals, lush production, and that breathless feeling of rekindled desire. Blend yearning ballads with confident, sensual beats. Moody yet magnetic, like walking into a room and forgetting how to breathe.
