In the pulsating heart of a city where power reigns supreme and passion ignites, Raven Nichols finds herself torn between two magnetic Parker Page, her constant friend and first love, and Noah Knight, a captivating stranger who challenges everything she thought she knew.

Grappling with her own demons, Raven is drawn back into Parker’s sphere, his allure as potent as ever. But promises made in the heat of youthful passion may not withstand the weight of time and trials to transformation.

Enter Noah Knight, a man who thrives on the thrill of conquest and the rush of control. Like Parker, the command and confidence he conveys are Raven’s catnip. Yet, beneath his formidable exterior lies a vulnerability she can’t resist. Their fleeting connection leaves her breathless, but the clash between her heart’s desires and sense of duty leaves her reeling.

With each passing day, Raven’s world grows more tangled as she navigates the treacherous terrain of love, loyalty, and self-discovery. In a landscape where power is currency and every choice has consequences, she must confront her own truth and decide which path to follow.

Will she honor her promise to Parker and reclaim their lost love, or will Noah’s allure prove too powerful to resist?

No strings. No names. No feelings. What could go wrong?

Rain

This Seattle meeting will change my life…just not the way I expected.

Instead of focusing on my presentation, I’m dealing with a cheating boyfriend and sister who bailed on me. The only good thing to happen is when a stranger at a bar offers a pretty distraction: a one-night stand, no strings attached, no questions asked. A distraction from my mess of a life is exactly what I need….

But our one-night stand turns into a week-long affair. He only wanted sex, no feelings, no last names, no talk about business, nothing personal. And I was fine with that. Until I wasn’t.

Nik

I don’t have time for relationships. I have a company to run, a legacy to uphold, a reputation to protect. I only care about power and success. I don’t do dates and I don’t do tomorrows. I only do one-night stands with women who know the rules and don’t ask for more.

But then I met Rain at a bar. She’s beautiful, smart, and sassy. And suddenly, I want more. The more time we spend together, the more I want from her. Her name. Her story. Her dreams. And I was fine with that. Until I wasn’t.

Fate is about to punish us for staying anonymous…by throwing us into each other’s lives in the worst possible way.
