His secret. Her past. Their unlikely beginning.
Gia Hoffman thought landing a coveted internship at Morgan Stanley's New York headquarters would be her fresh start. After losing her parents at twelve and her beloved grandfather a year ago, she's ready to leave her small South Carolina beach town behind. But freedom from her past doesn't come as easily as she hoped. Her faltering faith, an incident from her past that haunts every relationship, and an overworking mentor threaten to derail everything she's worked for. Just when she's about to break, help comes from the most unexpected source: the brilliant but brooding portfolio manager who seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length.
Nick Bellanti has built walls for a reason. As one of Morgan Stanley's top portfolio managers, he's mastered the art of professional success while keeping his personal life locked down tight. The darkness in his past has convinced him he's unworthy of love, and he refuses to inflict his brokenness on anyone else. But when he steps in to mentor Gia, her warmth and resilience begin cracking through his carefully constructed defenses. The connection between them is undeniable, yet every time they draw closer, his fear pushes them apart.
From the bustling streets of Manhattan to the historic charm of Charleston, Gia and Nick must decide if healing is possible and if they're brave enough to trust each other with their broken pieces. This enemies to love Christian romance weaves in a heartfelt story of redemption, beauty, and freedom in Christ.
These two wounded hearts must find the courage to believe they deserve more than just fine or their pasts will keep them from the future they both secretly long for.
