But she’s also been lying to me, and a scandal from her past threatens my lucrative deal with the legendary Dex Truitt. I made a mistake letting her in. I might love her, but I can’t risk trusting her. Mia Ford When I fled Kansas for New York, I expected to have a fun, new life.

But as I get to know the man behind the empire, I fall for him – hard. When my past catches up with me, Dean ends our relationship. But I’ll teach him that my love is his most powerful asset. I’m not running this time – I’m fighting for my rightful place by his side.
