title: The Last Heartbeat
author: Simms, Katerina
description: A strong-willed woman with secrets to spare. A reluctant CEO looking for love.Four years after unimaginable tragedy, Agathe Santos knows that hope is for losers and so is love, and work has become her greatest escape. But even the world's loneliest woman can't hide forever...Reluctant CEO Luke Tindall wants a wife, a family, a love that will last. He might have hired Agathe to save his company and deal with his goofy brother, but from the very first meeting, he has desired far more than her sharp wit and tireless work ethic. If only her past wasn't such a big secret. If only that secret wasn't a wound she didn't want healed. Maybe then she'd share more with him than her body. But even as Agathe can no longer deny her feelings for Luke, love is not something she thinks she deserves. Now she is left with an impossible choice: lose Luke forever, or lose the one thing that makes her life worth living.For fans of slow-burn romance and heat with heart.
