Sydney Hayward never expected to run her family's corporation. Wealth and privilege shaped her upbringing, but nothing prepared her for corporate leadership. Her new role demands complete focus, leaving no space for personal entanglements. Then she meets Mikhail Stanislaski. The contractor comes from a completely different background than Sydney's polished world. His masculinity and earthiness clash with everything familiar to her. Yet when Mikhail touches her with his calloused, strong hands, Sydney's careful control begins to crumble. She built walls around her heart to handle business pressures, but Mikhail threatens to tear them down. Their worlds couldn't be more opposite, but the attraction between them grows stronger despite the obstacles. Sydney must choose between the safe path her upbringing carved out and the passionate connection that could change everything.
