Afraid To Fall

by Tessa Quinn

Hoping to Fall · Book 10

I was hired to fix what he built. He walked into the boardroom, looked me dead in the eye, and said— “You’re here to gut me.” Roman Chase built a billion-dollar aviation empire from nothing. Silent. Ruthless. Always in control. I challenge every move he makes. He pushes back twice as hard. Then a storm grounds our jet. One lodge. One room. One bed. And by morning, nothing we say in meetings feels honest anymore. We fight. We kiss. We fall. Then the truth hits— The board never wanted me to fix the company. They wanted me to break him. So I walk. And at my next keynote, he walks on stage. No script. No suit. No silence— Just a man who says, “The loudest thing I’ve ever heard… was the sound of her walking away.”
