Victoria Wolfe has loved Ronnie Moresco for as long as she can remember.

Growing up in the orbit of intertwined families, he was always just out of reach—her brothers’ best friend, her best friend’s older brother, and the boy who never once looked at her the way she wanted. Until one night, he did.

And then he ruined everything.

What should have been the start of something became a lesson Victoria never forgot. She left for college heartbroken—but came back polished, confident, and done settling for scraps.

Taking a job at Moresco Construction was supposed to be temporary—a way to support her art while she figured out what came next.

It shouldn’t have been a problem.

Except Ronnie Moresco is still there. More arrogant. More impossible than she remembered—and far too good at getting under her skin.

When a sudden health scare forces him to take over the family business, Victoria becomes the one person he can’t afford to push away. Working side by side, their hostility shifts into something far more dangerous—something neither of them can ignore.

Because Ronnie can’t pretend anymore.

He sees her now.

Really sees her.

The problem is…

Victoria doesn’t want to be seen by him.
