The CEO’s Second-Chance Play (The Lakehaven Billionaires #2)

The CEO’s Second-Chance Play

Two years ago, Julian Vale protected his empire—and shattered Maya Sloane’s career and almost-love in the same breath. Now the unflappable CEO is back in small-town Lakehaven to win a contract he can’t afford to lose. The only PR strategist who can save his bid? The woman who stopped taking his calls.

Maya has new no second chances, no CEO charm, and no late-night strategy sessions that feel like everything she never let herself want. But when a leaked email ignites a town scandal and a snowstorm traps them with the truth, the past refuses to stay buried. To win the vote—and each other—they’ll have to choose transparency over spin and trust over fear.
