Wren Hastings crée de magnifiques espaces pour la vie des autres. Elle excelle dans ce domaine. Exceptionnelle, même. Ce qu’elle ne maîtrise pas, en revanche, c’est rester assez longtemps quelque part pour en avoir besoin. Quand un contrat de rénovation de six semaines la conduit au domaine Ashwood, dans la campagne du Vermont, elle s’attend à un client difficile, un budget généreux et une sortie sans accroc. Ce qu’elle obtient, c’est Dorian Ashwood : contrôlé, autoritaire, et qui se dresse sur son chemin dès son arrivée. L’offre qu’il lui fait lors de sa deuxième nuit sur place est simple. Participer au sommet familial en tant que sa compagne. Garder l’arrangement strictement professionnel. Partir quand le contrat prend fin. Elle pose ses conditions. Il accepte la plupart d’entre elles. Ce à quoi ni l’un ni l’autre ne s’attend, c’est ce qui se produit ensuite : la maison qui commence à lui ressembler, la famille qui l’absorbe sans demander la permission, et l’homme qui l’a choisie parmi un portfolio sans pouvoir expliquer pourquoi elle est la seule chose, dans son monde si soigneusement ordonné, qu’il ne parvient plus à maîtriser. Puis elle découvre les documents. Et l’arrangement cesse d’être le plus grand secret de la maison.

Selene Quinn Six years ago, I walked away from Lucien Ashbourne. No goodbyes. No confrontation. Just silence… and two unborn children he never knew about. They said I was lucky to marry into power — even though he was half-dead man. They didn’t see the contract, the coma, or the cold man who treated me like a threat. Even after I saved him. Now I’m back. Different name. Bigger title. And the first face I see on a Manhattan billboard? His. He doesn’t know I’m here. He doesn’t know we’re about to become competitors. And he has no idea what I’ve built while he was busy forgetting me. Lucien Ashbourne She left without a word. Good. She was a mistake forced into my life while I was too broken to stop it. But I never signed those divorce papers. And now… she’s back. New name. Same eyes. Running the company threatening my biggest deal. She’s hiding something. She always was. But this time, I won’t let her vanish. Not until I know why she left. Not until I remember what we did that night. Not until she realizes... she was mine all along.
