Summary

He wants to claim her heart. She's in for the fight of her life.Madison Waters has her future perfectly mapped out. A top research assistant at one of Boston's most prestigious law firms and a soon-to-be Harvard Law graduate, she's spent years building a life that finally makes sense—structured, secure, and completely under control. 
 
Love was never part of the plan. But an unexpected trip back home changes everything. 
 
Holden Brooks is a man she can't afford to want. He moved to her small hometown five years ago to outrun a past in Texas that nearly broke him. He's built a quiet life from the wreckage—steady, controlled, and carefully guarded. Love isn't part of the equation anymore. Until she crashes into his world. 
 
One look is all it takes to crack something open inside him. One touch is all it takes to make restraint impossible. And just like that, the life he rebuilt begins to unravel around the one woman he shouldn't want. Especially since she's his boss's daughter. 
 
Madison doesn't have time for distraction. For temptation. For a man who makes her question everything she's worked for. But Holden isn't asking her to choose. He's already decided she's his. And some lines, once crossed, can never be undone. 
 
Contains mature themes.
