She left a blueprint in my blood — and I’ve been trying to rebuild her ever since.
Eight years ago, I walked out with a lie in my mouth and her future in my pocket.
Now I’m trapped in a luxury inn with the only woman I ever loved, and I can’t stop thinking about how she tastes under pressure. One bed. No exit. And a war we both came to win.
She’s colder than the storm outside. Sharper than my best designs. And still so goddamn beautiful it makes me hate myself.
I told myself this was business. That I could keep it professional.
Then she laid down blue tape across the bed to keep me out.
So I crossed it.
She thinks I’ll choose safety again.
She forgets—there’s nothing safe about the way I want her.
Because she was never the mistake.
Just the woman I had to lose to become worthy of.
Genre: Romance
