Ten years of love got her nothing but a cold proposal built on guilt. At an elite research institute, Hazel was treated like an invisible assistant and her fiancé gave her research to his mentor’s daughter. After a public betrayal, she cuts ties: deletes ten years of data, calls off the engagement, and buys a one-way ticket to a remote Nevada field station.
She trades the lab for the desert and starts over with a low-key billionaire geologist who protects her from everything. But just as she begins to heal, her ex shows up—hurt, bloody, and desperate to win her back.
When a deadly rockslide threatens everything, she’s torn between her ex’s bloody sacrifice and her billionaire boyfriend’s steady hand. Hazel must choose: the man who broke her past, or the one who guards her future.
