Marcus: They call me the biotech Wunderkind or the cold billionaire with a tragic past. Controlled, focused, and always a step ahead. I built my seemingly limitless success by pushing boundaries but never crossing them. There’s no obstacle too difficult to overcome, and no situation is too complex to maneuver around. But after years away, coming home and seeing Sloan is a complication I can’t manage. She makes my mind wander to places it shouldn’t, making me want things I can’t have. She’s a forbidden temptation that could crack the defenses I’ve spent years building. Sloan: My lot in life is to be the spare to a less-than-worthy heir, constantly living in second place. Relegated to the society pages instead of the business section, I’m determined to make a name for myself. A six-month assignment in London will do just that. I’ll secure my position as the youngest senior partner at my firm and prove to my family that I was the choice they mistakenly ignored. My eyes are firmly fixed on the prize until Marcus sweeps back into my life. My older brother’s best friend turned greatest business rival ignites something in me that I can’t ignore. He maintains a facade of cool indifference, but his eyes tell a different story. One that threatens to set our lives alight.

He needed a perfect year. She needed a way out. After years of living up to his reckless playboy reputation, Henry Amari is ready to step into the role of CEO at his family’s prestigious company, Amari Global. But the board isn't so sure Henry can leave old habits behind, so they give him one year to prove himself worthy and hire a top PR firm to help Henry rehab his image. Just one when his new PR consultant arrives, Henry’s humiliated to discover that his new babysitter is the gorgeous woman he tried to flirt with at a party. Selena Montez, the “aristocrat whisperer, needs to complete one last job before she can leave New York City. After a disastrous experience with another socialite family, she needs this account to be a win. Even if Henry pulls her guard down with his authenticity and kindness—this has to be just business. But as she and Henry grow closer, her secret connection to high society starts to catch up to her. That, paired with an attraction they can’t fight, means Selena herself might be the greatest threat to Henry’s reputation. With a highly coveted acquisition, and Henry’s position as CEO, on the line — can love survive the scandal?
