He never feared losing control...until he met her.
Rose has spent her entire life relying on one person: herself.
Abandoned at birth and shuffled through the foster care system, Rose learned that independence isn't a choice...it's survival. So when she walks away from a prestigious interior design firm in New York City to launch her own business, failure isn't an option.
Her first client should be the break she's been waiting for.
The estate is breathtaking. Its owner is enigmatic, attractive, and impossible to read.
As their connection deepens, Rose can't shake the feeling that her client knows things he shouldn't. He notices details no stranger could possibly know.
While Rose has been fighting to build a future of her own, someone has been quietly watching her past.
As the long-buried secrets begin to surface, the more dangerous it becomes to hide why she was brought into his life in the first place.
Because she was never brought into his life by chance.
She was never hired for the job.
She was the job.
