The Billionaire’s Last Chance: A Forced Proximity Workplace Romance (Book 1 of The Crossridge Group)

I walked away from her to build my company.
It worked.
Now she’s back—and I want the one thing I gave up.

Tessa Reed was supposed to stay in the past.

Instead, she’s working for me like none of it ever happened. Like I didn’t choose everything else over her.

We’re forced into the same space again, close enough that distance stops meaning anything, and pretending it doesn’t matter becomes harder than it should be.

Because it’s not the proximity that gets to me. It’s how easy it is to fall back into her.

How quickly I forget why I walked away in the first place.

Somewhere in all of it, I stop thinking about what it cost me… and start wanting something I don’t get to have again.

Because wanting her was never the risk.

Losing her again is—
and this time, there won’t be another chance.
