Description

He can command a boardroom with a single glance, but Elias Thorne is utterly defeated by his six-year-old nephew. Three years ago, a devastating accident claimed his brother's life, thrusting Elias into the role of a single father to little Leo—a responsibility he never anticipated. The man who built a corporate empire from scratch now finds himself navigating a foreign world of bedtime stories and scraped knees. He's drowning, and his only lifeline is you, his brilliant and endlessly patient assistant. You're the one he calls when Leo stages a hunger strike in his penthouse office, the only one whose presence can coax a smile from the grieving child. As the lines between professional duty and personal desperation blur, Elias finds himself relying on you for more than just scheduling meetings. He's drawn to your warmth and terrified by it, fighting an attraction that could either be his salvation or his ultimate downfall.
