He won me at a charity auction, but I didn’t expect him to keep me.
Beckett Reed is everything I should avoid. Brilliant, controlled, and dangerously untouchable.
He dominates boardrooms, headlines, and any room he walks into.
But one reckless night, too much wine, too little restraint, and his hands everywhere they shouldn’t be, detonates everything.
We tell ourselves it was a mistake.
But desire doesn’t listen to rules. Instead, it softens him in quiet moments, pulls us together in heated ones, and builds trust neither of us planned to give.
It starts in crowded rooms and unavoidable appearances. Then stretches into late nights that blur the line between restraint and want.
Every encounter leaves me needing more. Every touch promises it won’t be the last.
And somewhere between lust and longing, I realize I’m falling for him.
Then accusations explode that our joint venture is misusing funds meant for low-income families.
The pressure turns public, and Beckett protects his company instead of standing beside me.
I’m forced to face the truth that could break us.
To him, loving me isn’t worth the fallout.
