Sometimes the thing you try the hardest to ignore is the one thing you need the most. Jessica Grayson met CEO, Alex Harlow working at his magazine and fell head over heels. But he was everything she had learned to distrust—rich, handsome, and alpha—and when he betrayed her, she walked away. Determined to move on, she's dried her tears and trashed the ice cream cartons, ready for whatever comes her way. Alex Harlow has never met an obstacle he couldn't overcome and that includes winning back the feisty make-up artist who challenges him at every turn. Using every tool at his disposal, he manipulates the playing field to keep Jessica close until he can earn her trust, all while dealing with his wife-in-name-only. His secrets run deep, but with his heart on the line, he'll go the distance to prove his love for her is real. When outside forces step-in, Alex and Jessica must not only fight for their lives, but for the happily-ever-after they both crave.
