Bryn
I never thought I’d see Jamison Cox again—the man who once held my heart and the only one I ever truly loved. Years ago, I made the agonizing choice to walk away from him. With my fractured family ties finally healing, I couldn't risk choosing my own desires over my brothers. But standing face-to-face with Jamison at a chaotic airport bar completely shatters my defenses. He still has that same wicked charm, that intense gaze, and a masculine appeal I’ve never been able to forget. Every spark, every ache, and every painful "what-if" comes rushing back, forcing me to decide if I’m strong enough to walk away a second time.

Bryn thinks she can just turn around and walk out of my life for good to protect her family empire, but fate just handed us a second chance—and this time, I’m not letting her go without a fight.
