Breathless for Desire

Aria Hale built her life on control, ambition, and a rule she never breaks: never mix business with desire. Then her biggest PR assignment drops her into Serenity Cove Resort—handpicked by fashion titan Damien Hart, the ex who disappeared without a goodbye.

Damien doesn’t want a professional reunion. He wants redemption. He wants Aria close enough to remember how he feels—and brave enough to forgive what he never explained. But exclusivity is fragile, and secrets don’t stay buried. A stranger’s camera catches what should be private, old deals crawl back into the light, and one reckless headline could turn Aria into the scandal of the season… and Damien’s empire into collateral damage.

Every day tightens the tension between them. Every night makes it harder to pretend this is only work. If Aria gives in, she risks her career, her reputation, and the last piece of her heart she swore he’d never touch again. If Damien can’t prove he’s done running, ten days will end the same way their past did—unfinished, unspoken, and unbearable.

A high-heat, second-chance billionaire romance of forced proximity, razor-sharp desire, and love worth fighting for.
