He worked his way up from the warehouse to the boardroom of Huntington Outfitters, determined to earn his place. But his mother refuses to hand over the reins of their billion-dollar empire until he finds the “right” partner. Sent to Seattle for a business deal he doesn’t believe in, Max expects nothing but frustration—until he meets Benjamin, the reserved stepson who seems immune to his charm. Suddenly, his trip is about more than business.

Under starry skies, sparks fly. Benjamin and Max must navigate family expectations, ambition, and an undeniable attraction. Can they rewrite their own fairy tale, or will reality tear them apart before their adventure begins?
