But I’ve never had one quite like him.
Kieran Hayes is a modern-day brilliant, arrogant, and ruthless. The Irish tech CEO has spent the last decade building his legacy in my city, but now he's breaking beneath the weight of his multibillion-dollar crown.
Forced into my therapy office, he’s confident I can't help him. I'm determined to prove him wrong.
Kieran will never know my desire to treat him stems from more than professional obligation. He doesn't remember the long-ago act of kindness that changed my life, but I've never forgotten.
This time I'm going to save him.
Or so I think.
The more I learn about his beautiful mind, the more my professional boundaries crumble. Especially when he decides he doesn't want any boundaries—or clothes—separating us.
Can I save him without sacrificing my ethics?
Or will Kieran be the first man to bring me to my knees?
