Once Upon A One-Night Stand

Xena St. James knows a red flag when she sees one. In fact, she's usually the friend warning everyone else about men like Lynx Grove. Charming. Gorgeous. Emotionally unavailable. The kind of man who makes women fall first and regret it later. So sleeping with him was a mistake she fully intended to leave in the past. Until he becomes her new boss. Because the billionaire CEO she swore never to see again keeps appearing everywhere in her life—offering her a job when she needs one most, looking at her like he still remembers every second of their night together, and somehow making it impossible to keep her distance. The worst part? Lynx doesn't act like a man who wants something casual. Not when he checks if she made it home safely.Not when he notices things no one else does.And definitely not when he insists she move in with him after discovering she's been living in a neighborhood no woman should have to survive alone. But no matter how safe Lynx makes her feel, Xena knows better than to trust a man who swears he isn't built for love. Especially when another woman—beautiful, wealthy, and determined to become Lynx's future—is waiting for Xena to make one wrong move. Because falling for Lynx Grove was never part of the plan. And the danger is that the more he makes room for her in his life, the harder it becomes to remember that he never promised her a place in his heart to begin with.
