One drunk mistake. One sapphire bikini. One impossible choice. Julian Hart and Sierra Langston have nothing in common. He's a self-made tech CEO who built an empire from nothing; she's a trust-fund heiress trying to escape her father's control.

One drunk mistake. One sapphire bikini. One impossible choice. Julian Hart and Sierra Langston have nothing in common. He's a self-made tech CEO who built an empire from nothing; she's a trust-fund heiress trying to escape her father's control. He wears khakis and works twenty-hour days; she wears designer labels and performs perfection at galas. He believes in logic and calculated risks; she's learned that vulnerability is weakness. Until one night at a Manhattan business summit, when an exhausted Julian walks into the wrong hotel room-and finds Sierra standing there in a sapphire bikini, fresh from the pool, looking at him like he's either an intruder or an idiot. Maybe both. What should have been a mortifying mistake becomes three days of stolen conversations, terrace confessions, and the terrifying realization that the person you least expected might be the one you've been waiting for. But when paparazzi turn their private moments into tabloid headlines, when Sierra's manipulative father orchestrates a media circus to destroy their relationship, when Julian's company faces a hostile takeover-suddenly love isn't just complicated. It's survival. Sierra runs. Julian gets back to work. And for six weeks, they both learn what it means to drown alone while convinced the other person has moved on. Now Sierra has one chance to fix everything she broke. If only she can assemble a coalition of investors to save Julian's company, confront the father who's been pulling strings her entire life, and prove that choosing love over safety isn't weakness-it's the bravest thing she's ever done. What could possibly go wrong?
Nicole Ashton writes love stories that feel like movies - full of emotion, slow tension, and the kind of moments that stay with you long after the last page. Her stories often begin with heartbreak and end with healing, exploring how people find love again after losing it, and how one unexpected moment can change everything. She believes love stories don't have to be perfect to be powerful - they just have to feel real. Whether it's two people pretending not to care, someone coming back from the past, or a lie that turns into something true, Nicole writes about the quiet, messy, beautiful parts of falling in love. Her books include They Said It Was Fake, Borrowed for Revenge, and The Ten Dollar Boyfriend - each one a cinematic journey of emotions, second chances, and the complicated ways people find their way back to each other. When she's not writing, Nicole loves getting lost in films, long walks that turn into daydreams, and quiet coffee shops where she builds the worlds her characters live in. She writes for anyone who still believes love can surprise them - even when they've stopped looking for it.
