You Let Me Fall

by Tessa Quinn

Hoping to Fall · Book 12

She called when someone broke in. Shredded court files. No fingerprints. And Dax Mercer—silent billionaire, untouchable protector—showed up in twenty minutes flat. He said, “You’ll stay with me.” She said, “I can’t disappear.” He replied, “Then you’ll be seen. On my arm.” One gala. One lie. She became his fiancée to fix the fallout. But in the Hamptons mansion—barefoot pacing, shared sweatshirts, 3AM confessions— Nothing about them felt pretend anymore. Then the article leaked. Her case shattered. His board turned. She thought he betrayed her. He didn’t chase her. Until the day he stood in front of the press and said— “She didn’t need my money. She needed someone to believe her. And I do. For the rest of my life.”
