Tess Caputo is sunlight through shrapnel—battle-scarred, brilliant, chaotic, potty-mouthed and adjusting to her new life on Civvy Street, awaiting medical discharge. A former Royal Navy Commander turned temp executive assistant, she thought she’d buried her past for good. But when her billionaire boss becomes the target of a corporate betrayal, Tess finds herself back in the fight.
Conrad Barron isn’t just handsome and clever—he’s her boss. And the only man who sees her clearly.
But staying by his side means stepping out of the shadows and into a world she swore she’d never touch again. It means confronting everything she’s lost—and everything she still wants.
Because some names carry weight.
Some battles find you no matter where you hide.
And sometimes, the hardest thing to surrender… is your heart.
