The Billionaire's Private Obsession

Everyone in the city knows about Damon Saxon's private obsession.

Behind his glass house on the cliffs there is one room that no one may enter. Not his staff, not his board, not the women the gossip pages pair him with. The papers say it is a shrine to a dead fiancée. His stepbrother, Felix, says it proves the youngest billionaire on the coast is losing his mind.

Mallory Bexley doesn't care what is in the room. She is a piano restorer with an unpaid rent bill and a younger brother to feed, and Damon Saxon is paying triple to bring a ruined old grand piano back to life before the night of his company's anniversary gala. Three rules: work only in the music room, never touch the locked door, and never ask him about the past.

She breaks the third rule on the first day.

Then one stormy night the locked door swings open, and Mallory sees what is inside.

Letters. Hundreds of them, pressed flat under glass on every wall. Childish letters on cheap blue paper, written to a lonely boy in a children's home by a girl who signed herself only "Wren's Nest." She wrote to him every week for years, until the letters suddenly stopped.

Mallory knows the paper. She knows the handwriting.

It is her own.

She was the girl in the letters. She stopped writing the winter her father lost everything and her family vanished into a different life, and she never knew what became of the boy who wrote back. Now he has spent a fortune looking for her.

And he believes he has found her.

Sabrina Halsey, elegant and charming, arrived at his door with three of his old replies and a story that fits every detail. She is the woman the city expects him to marry at the gala. Felix stands beside her, smiling.

Mallory has no proof but her memory and her hand. If she tells Damon the truth, he will think she is one more woman chasing his money. If she stays silent, she will watch the boy she once saved hand his heart and his company to a liar.

But Damon has started noticing things. The tune she hums while she works. The way she writes a grocery list. The way she looks at the locked door as if it belongs to her.

Someone stole those letters to get close to him. Someone wants him ruined by the night of the gala. And the only person who can stop them is the woman fixing his piano, who has spent her whole life believing no one would ever come looking for her.

He has been obsessed with a girl he has never met.

He is about to fall for the woman who was never lost at all.
