She read his life from a eulogy. Now, he wants to know who she really is.
Claire Mercer is a professional. As an estate lawyer, she specializes in the quiet management of endings. When a mix-up leaves her delivering a eulogy for Julian Cross-a celebrated, enigmatic film producer she has never met-she treats it as just another file to close. She researches his life, steps up to the podium, and delivers a eulogy so devastatingly accurate, so deeply true, that it leaves the room breathless.
There is only one problem: Julian Cross isn't dead.
He was sitting in the back row the entire time, listening to a stranger dismantle his carefully curated life with surgical precision.
Julian has spent twenty years mastering the art of being seen without ever being truly known. But Claire's words have rattled him in a way no critic or competitor ever could. Driven by a need to understand whether her insight was a fluke or a threat, he tracks her down under the guise of a "billing error."
What begins as a tense, professional standoff quickly shifts into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. As they are drawn into an orbit of late-night emails, secret meetings, and undeniable chemistry, Claire and Julian find themselves stripped of their defences. In a world where both are experts at keeping people at a distance, they must decide if the risk of being truly seen by one another is worth destroying the lives they've built.
He went looking for answers. He found the only person who could rewrite his ending.
