Six years ago, they shared a life-changing summer. Now, she’s cleaning her penthouse.
At twenty-six, art school graduate Maya is broke, desperate, and forced to trade her paintbrushes for a maid’s uniform. Taking a high-paying, live-in domestic role for an untouchable billionaire CEO seems like the ultimate lifeline to fund her dreams. But the moment she steps into the sprawling glass penthouse, her entire world tilts.
Her formidable new boss, Victoria Sterling, isn't a stranger. She’s Tori—the stunning, vulnerable older woman Maya fell wildly in love with six years ago during a fleeting, unforgettable summer romance in Cape Cod.
Now forty-four and commanding a massive corporate empire, Victoria is cold, guarded, and doesn't even recognize the girl who once held her heart. Maya resolves to keep her head down, erase the past, and stay strictly professional. But living under the same roof makes hiding the truth impossible—especially when a single hidden canvas brings all of Victoria’s repressed memories flooding back. Victoria hasn’t been able to forget Maya either, and soon, their professional relationship begins to sizzle with undercurrents of their past passion.
As late-night jazz, quiet dinners, and an undeniable current of electric tension tear down their carefully built boundaries, the fierce attraction between CEO and maid explodes into a secret, passionate affair. But between an oppressive family legacy, board members watching every move, and ruthless tabloid headlines accusing Victoria, loving each other in the dark might not be enough.
Can their rekindled fire survive the unforgiving spotlight of the real world, or will the secrets of their past burn down everything they’ve built?
