One night. The wrong deck. My new neighbor who also happens to be a billionaire board member at my hospital.

I told myself it was nothing—a reckless one-off with a man who doesn’t live in my world. But Cole Houston isn’t easy to forget. Not when he’s in the boardroom, staying next door, and in my head every time I close my eyes.

He was supposed to be a temporary indulgence. A distraction. Ten days, then gone.
Only now, every look, every touch, every lie threatens to cost me more than I ever imagined.

And when the truth comes out—about who he really is, about what he’s done—I’ll have to decide if I can love the man who might ruin everything I’ve worked for.

Ten days isn’t just enough to change my future. It’s enough to strip me bare, body and soul, until there’s no going back.
