A brilliant Ivy League graduate. A love she's kept silent. A man who should never have meant so much.
Samantha Jefferson has spent years perfecting the art of emotional discipline. As heiress to the Jefferson Financial Auditing Group , she was raised to lead with logic, elegance, and impeccable composure. But none of that protects her from the one weakness she has never been able to escape: Alexander Washington. Brilliant. Attractive. Naturally charming. The heir to a powerful investment banking family. Her study group partner. Her almost-friend. Her almost-everything.
They shared classrooms, late-night economics problems, and polite conversations about markets-but never the truth she buried behind her perfect posture. Years later, their family empires collide again when Samantha, now a rising analyst, finds herself working alongside Alexander in a series of high-stakes virtual meetings.
