Sienna Adams’s life is anything but peaceful. She’s burdened by debts that aren’t hers and running from a past she refuses to face. Love isn’t on her mind... until she encounters Zachary Sterling.

Zachary is a man shrouded in secrets. The only softness in his life is his son. Sienna should have been nothing more than a passing stranger, someone he would never recall. But something about her makes it difficult for him to walk away.

Sienna doesn’t realize that Zachary is the leader of a powerful company.

And Zachary doesn’t know that Sienna is the woman who once carried his child… and then vanished without a trace.

Or perhaps he is the reason she vanished...?

As the truth begins to surface, their past and present become intertwined. 

Feelings grow deeper, secrets grow darker, and love becomes dangerous.

And this time, walking away may no longer be an option.

Excerpt:

Sienna looked at him, a little hesitant this time. “Can I know your name?” she asked. 

Zachary glanced at her briefly.

Then he said simply, “I already saved it on your phone.”

Sienna's eyes widened slightly as she quickly glanced at the screen.

'Huh? Why does his name sound like Zachary Sterling?' She chuckled to herself. 'Nah, probably just a coincidence that their names are similar.'

“See you later, Zach…” 

Before he could respond, she turned and hurried toward the conference room on the other side of the lobby, her steps quick and purposeful.

Zachary didn’t move.

He stood there, watching her retreating figure as she disappeared into the distance.

The faint echo of her voice lingered in his mind.

'Zach—'

It wasn’t a name people around him used lightly, especially not with him standing before them.

For a brief moment, he remained still, his gaze fixed on the space where she had just been.

Then, slowly, he shifted his attention forward again.

But something felt… different.

And he couldn’t quite explain why.

"I still have connections within the military. If necessary, I can use them to support you," Zachary added. 


"Oh, come on, Zach..." he protested. "Do you really doubt me now? Have you ever doubted me before?"


"Or do you doubt our company?" Kevin continued, raising an eyebrow. "We're one hundred percent confident we'll be chosen as their partner."


"Trust me, Zach. You trusted me to lead Cresswell Group into one of the top three companies in the country." He smiled proudly. "Trust me one more time."


Zachary looked at him quietly for a moment. 


The confidence in Kevin's voice wasn't arrogance. It came from years of experience, countless successful negotiations and failed ones, and an impressive record of delivering results. Kevin had never made promises he couldn't keep, and that was exactly why Zachary had trusted him with Cresswell Group from the very beginning.
