Read and Swoon

My ex just showed up at my animal sanctuary with a film crew.

Niko Drakos left me six years ago the night my mother was dying.

Now he’s a famous veterinarian.
And I’m the woman who can’t afford to send him away.

The network wants in.
My sanctuary needs the money.
And somehow we’re stuck on the same property.

The same cabin. The same bed.

I expect fights.
More reasons to hate him.

Instead, I get the man who works through the night saving animals.

Fixing what’s broken, and who looks at me like I’m still his.

But his voice still drops when he says my name.
His hands still linger.
And I’m not just feeling attraction anymore.

I’m falling back in love.

The cameras say we’re off-limits.
The contracts say we can’t touch.
The past says I shouldn’t trust him.

Because if I choose Niko…
I don’t just risk losing my sanctuary.

I risk trusting the one man who already proved he knows exactly how to destroy me.
