Conway threw me out like trash on the street—just because I had the balls to say I loved him.

I return to New York and ask Andrew to give me the job I stupidly turned down. Thankfully, he’s not spiteful and vindictive like Conway and hires me. Now I have money in my pocket—and I’m not a prisoner to anyone. I buy myself an apartment and start a new life in an old place. Conway hasn’t called—and I suspect he never will.

But three weeks later, he shows up on my doorstep, his eyes in repentance. The butterflies in my stomach roar like fire-breathing dragons, but I give him the coldest stare I can muster. He apologizes for everything—but it’s not enough. It’s not enough because I can look him in the eye and tell him I want him for the rest of my life—and he refuses to admit he feels the same way.

When Conway leaves, it’s like another breakup, but it’s more painful than the first. It hurts far more because I know he wants exactly what I want—but he’ll never admit that. Even after three weeks of silence, I still love him. Is this the last time I’ll ever see him?

Or will he finally realize I’m the woman he can’t live without?

Buttons and Power is the fourth installment of the Beyond Buttons Series, a bestselling alpha male, dark mafia romance.
