Trusting Maverick

He’s a billionaire tech CFO who avoids relationships at all costs. She’s a fiercely independent woman guarding her heart…and a secret that could ruin them both.

MAVERICK
I leave romance and happily-ever-afters to the rest of my family. As the CFO of Lincoln Technologies, my life is about numbers, logic, and expansion, not love.

Until I saw her.

Gwendolyn Hearst is smart, sharp-witted, and stunningly gorgeous. For the first time in my life, I'm ready to throw my own rules out the window. But winning Gwen’s heart is a battleground. She’s the sole caretaker for her sister, Ellie, and she's learned the hard way that men run when the going gets tough. I just need one chance to prove I’m not like the rest. I will do whatever it takes to show Gwen she can trust me to protect her family, no matter who tries to stand in our way.

GWEN
I don’t need a knight in shining armor to ride in and save the day. Fairytales are for movies, not real life, and I’ve learned that men always run the second things get hard. My priority is Ellie, and she needs my constant attention.

So why won’t Maverick Lincoln get the hint?

He keeps showing up, being impossibly kind to my sister and treating me like I'm the only woman in the room. It feels too good to be true. I want to let my guard down, but I’m guarding secrets that are finally beginning to unravel. When the truth comes to light, will Maverick prove he’s the man he claims to be, or will he walk away like all the others?

Tropes:

• Billionaire Tech CFO
