I didn’t plan on wanting my boss. Especially not him.
Colton Hayes is everything I should stay far away from— a brilliant oncologist, obscenely wealthy, devastatingly controlled, and completely uninterested in anything resembling a relationship.
Powerful. Intimidating. Untouchable. I tell myself it’s nothing. That I’m immune to rich, dominant men who thrive on discipline and restraint.
That whatever sparks between us is just proximity… stress… imagination. It’s not. The tension doesn’t fade. It sharpens. Colton doesn’t make promises. He doesn’t do relationships.
And he never loses control. Until me. And I’m not na?ve. I know exactly who he is. I know the rules he lives by—and the risks that come with wanting a man like him. But I’m not looking for saving.
I’m not asking for forever. And I don’t need permission to want what I want. If Colton Hayes thinks he can stand this close to me without consequences, he’s already lost.
Because I’m not afraid of falling for the wrong man. I’m afraid of walking away from the right one.
