BEGGING FOR HER FORGIVENESS

Three years ago, Alistair Cross destroyed her father's company and vanished without a word.

Now he's back.

And he owns the one project Veda Vance can't afford to lose.

Veda has spent three years rebuilding Vance & Cross Designs from the wreckage her father left behind. The restoration of the historic Lennox Theatre is supposed to be her chance to prove she can succeed on her own.

Until she discovers the new owner has appointed a managing director she knows all too well.

Her ex-fiancé.

Alistair Cross never stopped loving Veda. But three years ago, he walked away without explaining why, and the truth is far more complicated than she ever imagined. Bound by a decade of his father's manipulation and a secret that could destroy everything Veda has rebuilt, Alistair knows he has only one chance to earn her trust again.

Forced to work side by side as the theatre rises from the dust, old wounds reopen and so does the attraction neither of them managed to bury.

But rebuilding a love destroyed by betrayal takes more than apologies. It takes the truth.

And Alistair is running out of time to prove that this time, he's not walking away.

A slow-burn, angsty second-chance romance filled with unresolved chemistry, buried secrets, emotional redemption, and a grand-gesture ending with a satisfying happily-ever-after and no cliffhanger.
