She returns to her hometown, where she attempts to rebuild her life and herself. Far from her ex while he gets help, she hides her secrets with lies until she can start a new career in a new city. Blake Pendleton is climbing the corporate ladder in his father’s business, trying to prove himself as more than the CEO’s privileged son. There’s no room for distractions. But when Blake’s father insists he escort his friend’s daughter to a dinner auction—as a business networking event—he’s left with no choice but to say yes. He wants to tear it down. Assumptions take hold. To her, Blake is a risk and just another callous jerk. To him, Anna is a liar and just another scheming opportunist. But as fate intertwines their paths, those assumptions begin to crack. He’s drawn to her despite her wall of lies. She’s drawn to him despite his overbearing drive for control. But as Blake’s promotion looms and Anna gets a dream job offer hundreds of miles away, the chemistry they can’t deny collides with the secrets of Anna’s past. Blake comes face to face with her ugly, beautiful wall. Will he step through? Will she let him in? less
