Some people enter your life to save you. Others enter to ruin you. Isla Bennett has spent years believing she doesn't deserve either. She works two jobs, keeps her head down, and lives by one simple rule-never depend on anyone. It was the only lesson life had taught her after losing everything she loved. Then, on an ordinary autumn evening, she crosses paths with a man carrying burdens far heavier than his expensive suit could hide. Adrian Hale has money, power, and a reputation that makes people fear saying his name. The world sees a successful businessman who never loses. No one sees the lonely man behind closed doors. A single unexpected meeting brings their worlds together. Neither of them is looking for love. Neither of them is ready to trust. But some people are destined to find each other when they're at their most broken. As old secrets begin to surface and dangerous enemies close in, Isla and Adrian must decide whether love is worth risking everything they've spent years trying to protect. Because sometimes... The person who changes your life isn't the one you were searching for. They're the one fate refused to let you lose.
