Baxter Sims built his empire with cold precision and ruthless determination. As Seattle's most formidable CEO, he has everything money can buy—except someone to share it with. Behind his icy exterior lies a man scarred by abandonment, who has locked his heart away along with memories of his painful past.
Laci Carter lives in a different world, running a struggling bookstore while raising her four-year-old son, Jason. Her life is rich with love and laughter, if not financial security. When catering a high-society charity event brought her face-to-face with the infamous Baxter Sims, their unexpected chemistry led to one passionate night—a night she believed to be just a beautiful memory.
Until her bookstore faces closure, forcing Laci to seek help from the last person she wants to depend on. But approaching Baxter means revealing the secret she's kept for four years: he has a son.
Confronted with irrefutable proof of paternity, Baxter's carefully controlled world shatters. His first instinct is to throw money at the situation while maintaining emotional distance. Yet something about Jason's curious mind and innocent questions begins to thaw the ice around Baxter's heart.
As they navigate co-parenting, old sparks reignite between Baxter and Laci. But building a future together means confronting painful truths: Laci's fear of losing her independence, and Baxter's terror of becoming the father who abandoned him.
When a corporate takeover threatens Baxter's company and tabloid scandals expose their fragile family to public scrutiny, they must decide what truly matters. Can a man who has spent his life pushing people away learn to let love in? Can a woman fiercely protective of her independence risk her heart on a man who's never needed anyone?
