One impulsive kiss could change everything, or so Cora Lane hoped, but she never imagined it would involve her ex-fiancé's devastatingly attractive uncle. Cora, drowning her sorrows at the glittering Spire 73 bar, makes a bold move on a stranger, only to discover she’s locking lips with Byron Hansen, the very man she should be avoiding. Their passionate encounter leads to a night neither can forget, but Byron quickly dismisses it as a fleeting moment. Desperate and facing mounting medical bills for her ailing mother, Cora swallows her pride and seeks help from her ex, Eason Patton. But fate, it seems, has other plans. Upon arriving at Eason's opulent mansion, Cora is confronted not only by the venomous Lydia, Eason's mother, who accuses her of being a gold digger, but also by the presence of Byron himself. The air crackles with unspoken tension and complicated history. The situation explodes further with the arrival of Mia, Eason's new girlfriend, whose barbed insults push Cora to her breaking point. In a moment of defiance, Cora exposes Eason's past rejection of Mia, revealing the tangled web of secrets and betrayals that binds them all. As the layers of deception unravel, Cora finds herself caught in a whirlwind of family drama, financial desperation, and undeniable attraction. But amidst the chaos and colliding desires that define this **contemporary romance**, Cora begins to wonder if Byron's initial dismissal was just a façade. Will she succumb to the allure of this **billionaire romance** and risk further entangling herself in the complicated lives of the Hansen family?
