Fervor

He said his name was Warren Tate. He didn't say he was a trillionaire.

Kerry Jackson finally left her anesthesiologist husband the way every abused wife dreams of — with a packed bag, a falsified route, and a town in North Carolina he'd never think to look. She took a chandelier-hanging job because it pays cash, because nobody asks questions, and because the foreman who interviewed her has kind eyes and rough hands and a fake last name.

Warren Norouzi took a year off from the family's trillion-dollar empire to build something from nothing. No inheritance, no safety net. Just a Greenville construction business, a birth certificate under his adoptive name, and a rule: no relationships that can't survive the truth.

Then Kerry trips into a bucket of water and into his arms, and Romeo Cartier, her controlling ex, hires a gossip blogger named Regina to hunt them both.

Secret billionaire. Domestic-abuse survivor. Blue-collar hero who isn't blue-collar. Small-town NC escape romance.
