Swallow Your Fear

She's spent three years perfecting her hatred of him—and he's spent three years earning every bit of it.

Nadia Cole doesn't forgive. She doesn't forget. And she certainly doesn't feel anything for the man who dismantled her career with a single, ruthless decision and called it business. Now fate has the audacity to seat them across from each other in a high-stakes merger negotiation where failure isn't an option for either of them.

Caleb Merritt tells himself the tension in the room is professional. The charged silences are strategic. The way his pulse spikes when she challenges him across the conference table is simply adrenaline.

He's a gifted liar.

What begins as a cold ceasefire slowly fractures into something neither of them planned for—sharp words that cut too close to the truth, stolen glances that linger a breath too long, and a single late-night argument that cracks open everything they've both been burying.

But Nadia knows better than anyone that wanting something doesn't make it safe. And Caleb carries a secret about what really happened three years ago—one that could either destroy them completely or be the reason she finally lets herself breathe.

*Swallow Your Fear* is a scorching, emotionally raw romance about two people who built their armor out of each other's wounds—and must decide if loving the enemy is worth surviving the truth.
