When Rhiannon lands a major client in charming entrepreneur Shawn Emerson, she's thrilled—until he makes it clear he's interested in way more than just event planning. She's got an iron rule about never mixing business with pleasure, but Shawn has a way of slipping past her carefully constructed walls, transforming from temptation into genuine confidant. As the line between professional and personal blurs, Rhiannon finds herself wanting to take the biggest risk of all: letting someone in on the painful secrets she's kept locked away. What unfolds is a swoony, emotional journey about learning that sometimes the right person is worth breaking all your rules for.
