Damien Sinclair, the heir to a billion-dollar empire, is the picture of perfection to the world—charming, successful, and untouchable. Born into unimaginable wealth, Damien's life seems enviable, but beneath his confident exterior lies a fractured soul. A traumatic experience from his childhood left him wary and distant, especially toward women. Yet, there is one exception: Jessica Monroe, his childhood best friend.
Jessica, raised in a loving and lively family, is Damien’s polar opposite. With her cheerful spirit, quick wit, and radiant kindness, she’s a beacon of light in his otherwise guarded world. Around her, his cold demeanor melts, revealing a clingy side that craves her attention, affection, and nurturing.
As adults, their bond deepens, but Jessica’s colorful life takes a new turn when she decides to pursue her own dreams of independence. Her growing distance terrifies Damien, forcing him to confront the fears and scars he’s spent his life suppressing.
When a family scandal threatens to destroy the Sinclair legacy, Damien must decide: will he let his trauma dictate his actions, or will he fight to heal and show Jessica he’s capable of more than just being her shadow?
Jessica stirs her coffee, a soft smile playing on her lips as Damien slides into the seat across from her. His tie is slightly loosened, and there’s a familiar pout on his face.
Damien leaning forward with a dramatic sigh. “You didn’t text me back this morning. I thought you’d forgotten about me.”
