Returning home wasn't in Melinda Taylor's plans. Working at Stephens Construction definitely wasn't on the agenda. Fate must be laughing at her, because that's exactly where she landed. Right in Matthew Stephens's lap. Now she has to navigate the volatile waters surrounding the one man she's always loved.

Matthew Stephens is focused on two things: his son and his business. Everything else is a distraction that threatens his ironclad control. That definitely includes Melinda. Only once, years before, had he let that control slip. It cost him the one thing he never should have wanted. 

Someone is intent on destroying Stephens Construction, and no one is safe. When Melinda winds up a target, Matthew can't deny what is obvious any longer. Maybe they could have a future—if they can survive the present.
