Seven years after his mother's suspicious death pushed him to the edge of an overpass, Julian Blackwell sits at the helm of a massive corporate empire. Hardened, solitary, and feared by board members, Julian never forgot the gentle boy named Leo who wrapped a warm coat around his shoulders that rainy night.

When fate places Leo back in Julian's orbit as an unassuming employee, Julian immediately resolves to draw the young man close. Concealing the full intensity of his lifelong devotion behind a stern executive facade, Julian quietly shields Leo from cutthroat office rivalries and predatory managers. But as Julian digs into the crash that killed his mother, dangerous family secrets threaten to pull Leo directly into harm's way.
