After a blackout one-night stand, Celine discovers she’s pregnant by a stranger she knows nothing about. Three years later, Hunter Reid returns to town.

He’s cold, ruthless, and obsessed with perfection. When their paths cross, Hunter finds Celine’s kindness and naivety infuriating—but he can’t ignore the pull he feels toward her, no matter how much he tries to deny it.

Celine, confused by his hatred, does her best to steer clear of him, but fate keeps throwing them together. As secrets unbox, she’s faced with a choice: risk her heart for a man whose icy gaze hides dangerous truths, or walk away to protect her child’s future.

Can Celine break through Hunter’s walls, or will his past shatter their chance at happiness?

Claire's love for Richard was legendary—three years of devotion that everyone envied. Until the day she found her best friend Monica on top of her husband in their living room, and her world shattered.

"Sign it, Claire," Richard said, tossing divorce papers at her hospital bed, his once-warm blue eyes now ice cold. "You disgust me. You're clingy, obsessed, and suffocating."

One year later, Claire Winfred returns to town—transformed, powerful, and engaged to billionaire Alexander Hayes. But she hasn't come back for a new beginning. She's come back for revenge.

Now she's the one calling the shots, trapping Richard behind his desk, her hand gripping his tie. "Tell me, Richard," she purrs, "do you still find me disgusting?"

"Yes," he lies, even as his body betrays him.

"Then explain why you're so hard right now."

The seduction has begun. But in a game this dangerous, who will be the hunter and who will be the prey?
