The Way He Stayed
Naomi Carter has three never date the boss, never need anyone, and never let them see you break. Jack Mercer makes keeping those rules impossible.
She’s the brilliant strategist hired to fix a crumbling brand. He’s the guarded, gorgeous CEO who built an empire and forgot how to feel. One stalled elevator, one searing kiss, and the office starts to whisper. When the rumors turn ruthless and Naomi’s past comes clawing back—along with the absentee father of her son—Jack doesn’t cut and run. He shows up. He stays.
Fighting boardroom politics is one thing. Fighting for a family is another. Jack steps into the storm at Naomi’s side, and the man who’s always had a plan learns how to hold on when life gets messy. Naomi’s done surviving; she’s ready to live. With a little boy who loves rocket ships, a house that’s theirs from the foundation up, and a love that refuses to be quiet, she and Jack build something no headline can break.
But when custody threats, corporate power plays, and old wounds collide, will the pressure crack them—or prove they were always meant to last?
