The Heart You Left Behind

She didn't leave because she stopped loving him. She left because she loved him too much to let him die. Maya Chen is good at two things - finding where the money is hidden, and hiding what her heart truly feels. For five years, the Manhattan skyline has been her armour and Hale & Associates her sanctuary. She has convinced herself she is fine. She has almost convinced herself she has forgotten Daniel Reeves.
Almost. When Daniel reappears in her life - older, harder, and still looking at her like she owes him an explanation she is terrified to give - Maya knows the careful silence she has maintained is about to collapse. Daniel is investigating her firm. And at the centre of everything he is uncovering stands Victor Hale - charming, untouchable, and the most dangerous man Maya has ever known. Victor does not make idle threats.
Maya learned that the hard way five years ago, the night she packed a bag, erased Daniel's number, and chose his safety over her own happiness. But Victor's empire is cracking. And a man like Victor Hale does not go down quietly. In a city full of secrets, the most devastating one was always this - she never stopped loving him. And he is about to find out why that terrifies her.
