She took one job to save a dying brother and wound up stealing a life. Jordan Campbell was paid three hundred thousand dollars to pose as an heiress and “wake” a coma-bound CEO—one night, one act, collect the money, and disappear. But the man in the bed opens his eyes, calls her by a childhood name, and kisses her like a lost thing found. Jordan flees with the payment and a secret: she’s carrying his child. Three years later she is a janitor at his company, ragged and brave, sneaking into a world that ruined her. Her little girl is dying of leukemia and the only match is the man Jordan is supposed to avoid. He’s Hugo Ashford—the brilliant, icy CEO who remembers the scent on a collar and the way a knee trembled. He’s also father to another child and protector of a family that would burn hers if he knew the truth. She will not beg. She will not trade what she cannot lose. Jordan will steal one thing that cannot be fenced: his bone marrow. What she risks is everything—exposure, vengeance, the one man who might love a child he never knew. When Hugo notices the woman who keeps appearing at his office, everything he thought was certain begins to fracture. The next move will decide whose life gets saved and whose life gets claimed.
