Jessica Sterling has spent two decades converting every vulnerability into armor. CEO of the cultural holdings company her father built, recently separated, isolated by choice, she runs her life from a glass penthouse on the sixtieth floor. Then a historic blizzard locks down Manhattan, and her mentor sends a private security specialist to her door.
What Arthur does not tell her is that the storm, the isolation, and Liam Cross are all instruments in a coordinated board coup. By the time the power fails, Jessica is trapped sixty floors up with a man she did not ask for and a company slipping out from under her.
Three days without heat strip away every professional buffer she has ever used. A blanket fort in the living room. An elderly neighbor they pull out of hypothermia together. The slow dismantling of a fortress that was never as safe as she believed. By the time the snow clears, Jessica has to decide what she is actually willing to fight for, and what is finally worth losing.
A later-in-life forced-proximity romance about corporate betrayal, chosen softness, and what you choose to keep when your title is gone.
