When Passion Meets Trauma
The collision between Eva Tramell and Gideon Cross happens with the force of destiny. Eva, twenty-four and determined to build an independent life in Manhattan, literally crashes into billionaire Gideon in the Crossfire Building's opulent lobby. Their connection is immediate and visceral-his raven hair and piercing blue eyes commanding attention, her pulse racing uncontrollably. This isn't just attraction; it's recognition. Two souls with carefully constructed facades identifying something familiar in each other-a darkness, a hunger that transcends their obvious differences in wealth and status. Eva has spent years in therapy reclaiming her identity after childhood sexual abuse. Her new advertising job represents more than career advancement-it's her declaration of independence from an overprotective mother and wealthy stepfather. Gideon, despite his immense wealth and power at just twenty-eight, carries his own unspoken wounds. Their initial encounters crackle with tension that goes beyond mere desire. In the confined space of an elevator, their chemistry becomes almost unbearable, challenging Eva's carefully maintained boundaries. What makes their meeting so compelling isn't just physical attraction but how they instinctively identify each other as fellow survivors. This recognition forms the foundation of a connection that will prove as destructive as it is healing-a relationship that will challenge everything they thought they knew about love, trust, and recovery.
