When venture capitalist James Morrison walks into Sophia Rivera's pitch meeting, he recognizes more than just breakthrough technology—he sees the passionate entrepreneur who could either save his carefully guarded heart or destroy the professional reputation he's spent three years rebuilding.
Sophia needs funding to scale her revolutionary healthcare platform. She doesn't need the devastating attraction to the silver-tempered investor whose questions prove he understands her life's work better than anyone else.
James learned the hard way that mixing business with emotion leads to catastrophic failure. But watching Sophia defend her vision with fierce intelligence makes him want to risk everything he swore he'd protect.
She's twenty-eight and building her first company. He's thirty-nine and haunted by his last one's spectacular collapse.
She believes technology should serve people, not profit margins. He's spent years learning that survival requires choosing financial security over meaningful dreams.
When their professional partnership ignites into something neither expected, every carefully constructed boundary begins to crumble.
Sterling Capital's investment could make Sophia's company—or transform it into something she no longer recognizes. James's advocacy could secure her future—or cost him the career he rebuilt from the ashes of his own failed startup.
But the real risk isn't professional.
Can two people who've learned to guard their hearts build something extraordinary together—or will their past wounds destroy the love that could heal them both?
