Maddie ran out of road three miles past the Virgin Cove sign. Broken CRV. Sleeping daughter in the back seat. A black eye she keeps telling herself is the last one, because she finally had the nerve to leave Bob for good. Then a black Range Rover pulls over, and the man who climbs out is the boy she kissed at sixteen — now a trillionaire who owns half the tech industry.
Arman Norouzi has spent a decade pretending he didn't drive past this exit every time he flew home. He never got over her. He won't let her mother, her ex, or her own bone-deep belief that she's broken take her away from him again.
He offers her a job. A safe house. A future for her daughter.
All she has to do is survive the man who swore she'd never leave.
Second chance. Protective billionaire. Single mom. Domestic-abuse survivor HEA. Teenage first kiss grown up.
