Conundrum of the Hearts

Taber Cristaldi has everything—money, power, and a reputation as Manhattan’s most charming bachelor. He spends his days expanding his family’s empire while embroiled in the unending conflict of Cristaldi rivalries. And at night, he chases every distraction the city has to offer. All to forget that one woman who disappeared without a word five years ago.

The only one he can’t replace. And the only one he ever wanted.

Now, his very Italian family expects an heir to carry the Cristaldi name forward. And with all his friends settling down… he’s starting to crave that life too.

Dee has finally clawed her way back to the career she once lost. Four relentless years of grinding auditions and brutal rejection until at last, the role that could rewrite her future is within reach.

All she has to do is stay focused. No distractions and absolutely no diversion.

Just one final family wedding before she dives headfirst into the hard-won second chance the industry rarely extends.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

Because the one man she swore she’d never see again crashes back into her life and steals the breath right from her chest.

Their undeniable chemistry is a live wire, and their unresolved past is a wound still bleeding.

Letting him in could cost her everything.
Letting her go is a mistake he refuses to repeat.
