Donovan

After years of running, this quiet town in South Carolina offers exactly what I need: anonymity and the perfect landscape to make my project come to life. If I keep my head down and everyone at arm’s length, I should find the peace I’ve been searching for.

​

My plan works just as I intend it to … until Audra King crashes into my world. From the moment I hear her laugh, I’m curious. When I finally lay eyes on her, I’m captivated. And when we talk, she obliterates the carefully constructed walls I swore would never fall.

​

Though there is an undeniable magnetism between us, she won’t act on it

and I can’t seem to figure out why.

​

But when I learn about the chaos she’s been hiding under her dazzling smile, everything makes sense. And now her happiness—and whatever this is between us—is on the line.

​

Though she’s pushing me away, I won’t stop trying to convince her to let me in.

And I always get what I want.

Audra

I made myself a promise: never fall for another rich man. My ex taught me everything I needed to know about that world—and I want no part of it. My life now is simple, safe, and mostly happy.

​

But when Donovan Wright, Savannah Springs’ wealthiest man, sets his sights on me, I’m thrown. His warm chocolate eyes, smooth voice, and commanding presence make it hard to breathe.

​

When life starts to fall apart, I end up turning toward the one person I know I should run from. The strength and unwavering support he provides leads to a freefall of feelings that I can’t control.

​

Donovan says he’s prepared to handle my chaos, but when things get real, will he stay or will he break the heart I was so reluctant to give?
