Summary
"From the way Kara was reacting to his touch and kisses, Adam could tell she wanted it so he went with what was in his mind.
His home office that he hardly ever used was just a few steps away. He pulled Kara in there, locked the door, and immediately pinned her against the wall, slamming his lips against her, and using one of his hands to caress her body".
Adam Sleeves, a ruthless billionaire, has everything—money, success, and a long list of mistresses. But behind his cold façade lies a man tormented by a past he can never forget. His toxic marriage to Tessie is nothing more than a battlefield, and the only thing keeping him tethered to reality is his love for his two children.
When Adam hires a new nanny, his entire world tilts. The woman standing at his doorstep is Katherine Gold, his first and only love—the girl he lost years ago. But there’s a problem: she claims she doesn’t know him. Now going by Helen Pierce, she acts as if their past never existed, as if he’s just another stranger in her life.
But Adam knows the truth. He sees it in her eyes, in the way she tenses when he’s near. She’s hiding something, and he’s determined to uncover her secrets. Why did she disappear? Why is she pretending? And most importantly—can he break down the walls she’s built before he loses her forever?
