After ending the call, Caroline stared blankly at her phone, lost in her thoughts in the spacious office.
She hadn't even noticed when her assistant, Kelly Johnson,
entered. "Ms. Ashbourne, these documents need your

Caroline snapped back to reality and gave a cool nod. Kelly turned to leave.
As Kelly closed the door thoughtfully behind her, she couldn't help but quickly glance at Caroline's elegant figure.
Even as another woman, Kelly had to admit Caroline was drop-dead gorgeous. The only problem was how cold and distant she seemed, making her difficult to approach.

Unable to find answers, she looked for them in Alistair's past.
She hoped to uncover clues in his history that might explain her attraction. Caroline focused on Alistair because she had a year-long gap in her memories. She remembered nothing from when she was twelve-an entire year completely erased.
She had asked about it before, and everyone told her the same story. She had been gravely ill that year, nearly dying. She had spent the entire time bedridden at the Ashbourne Manor. They assured her it was normal not to remember anything from such a difficult period.
