After Hours
When a chance internship in the Big Apple brings together two wounded souls, sparks fly — but so do the secrets.
Dillon Xander
I built my empire with blood, sweat, and an iron heart.
Emotions? Buried long ago. Then she walked into my office, all ambition and beauty, tearing down walls I swore I’d never lower again.
Every time she looks at me, I feel my control slipping, my heart thawing.
And it terrifies me. Because the one thing I can’t afford to lose is my focus or her.
Azzaria Willis
This internship is supposed to be my final step to freedom, not a chance to fall for my brooding boss.
I’ve got enough scars of my own, and I came here to prove I’m more than my past. Yet the way Dillon looks at me…
it awakens feelings I thought I’d buried for good.
The smart thing would be to stay away. But every glance, every brush of his hand makes me wonder: Could love really heal what’s broken inside us?
