When a powerful CEO finds himself accused of his ex-wife's murder, he turns to the one person who knows him best—the journalist he abandoned twelve years ago—to help clear his name. Roxann can't deny the electric pull between them or her instinct that there's far more to this case than meets the eye, but mixing business with a man who broke her heart once before feels like playing with fire. As they dig deeper into a web of secrets and corruption that reaches the highest levels of power, their rekindled chemistry becomes impossible to ignore—and the closer they get to the truth, the more they risk losing each other all over again. A gripping mystery wrapped around a second-chance romance that will keep you turning pages late into the night.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry indie-pop and moody R&B for rekindled passion amid danger. Think smoldering chemistry, tense strings, and whispered vocals—where trust feels like a risk and every glance burns. Brooding, cinematic, with moments of vulnerable intimacy.
