Worth the Wait

She built an empire without him. Now he wants a second chance to deserve her.

LIANNE

I have one rule. Never take a job where the client has seen me cry.

Cameron Judd has seen me cry. He's also seen me fall in love with him, which was worse. That was four years ago, and I've spent every one of them building a company that proves I don't need a billionaire, his world, or the look he gives me when he thinks I'm not paying attention.

Now Sterling Industries needs a planner for its four-hundred-guest gala, and Cameron is the board chair signing off on every decision. I need the contract. We both need to stop pretending this is strictly professional.

The problem isn't Cameron. The problem is everything that comes with him.


CAMERON

Four years ago, I let her go. I had reasons. None of them were good enough, and I've had four years to sit with that.

Now Lianne Peralta is pitching timelines in my conference room like I'm just another client. I'm not. She knows I'm not. And the contingency matrices in her proposal don't cover what happens when the client can't stop watching the planner.

What she doesn't know is that I'm the one who put her firm on the shortlist.

She thinks the problem is my world. She's wrong. Last time, I wasn't ready to deserve hers.

A steamy, open-door second-chance romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.
