He was her boss — commanding, impossible to resist.
She was his sister's best friend — off-limits, yet dangerously tempting.

But fate isn't done with them yet. A jealous ex-lover threatens to tear their fragile bond apart, forcing Eve and Grayson to fight for a future neither dared to dream possible. With everything at stake, Grayson and Eve must decide: will love be their greatest risk—or their ultimate reward?
