Paige
I’d worked for Declan Brooks for years before I’d ever seen him smile. A real smile, not the kind he gave to board members or associates. The one that made me forget how to breathe.
He wasn’t an easy man to work for. He demanded structure. Control. His warmest mood was still cold, and most assistants quit within a week.
Not me. I stayed. I needed the job…and somewhere between scheduling his life and memorizing his preferences, I started to understand him.
When my relationship fell apart, I thought I could keep things professional, keep things the way they always were.
Then Declan offered me a place to land.
It was kind. Unexpected. Completely unlike him.
And with us so close, I found myself falling for the man behind the reputation.
Declan
I had never understood people. They were too loud, had too many expectations.
Paige Adams was supposed to be temporary, just another name from an agency I paid.
But she stayed.
She learned what I needed without me having to ask.
She understood me when no one else had.
For seven years, I kept my distance, convinced I could admire her from afar and that would be enough.
Then her world fell apart, and I couldn’t let her shatter with it.
So, I offered her help—a place to stay, close to me.
But she’s too close.
Too perfect.
And I crossed a line I shouldn’t have.
If she ever found out what I’d done, what I had hidden, I would lose the only person who ever saw me for me.
