Life is never black and white.

One minute you’re a struggling graphic designer in LA that's finally coming to terms with being single forever, and the next you're flying to New York in a private jet to get engaged to your ex-boyfriend’s older brother.

At least...that’s what everyone thinks.

Forced to clean up his playboy image in order to protect his company, Beckham Sinclair, the city’s most eligible billionaire bachelor, wants me to be his fake fiancée and personal assistant.

Now I'm spending every spare second with a man I thought I’d never see again.

My freshly mended heart has barely recovered from the first time a Sinclair broke it. But with each passing day, Beck’s dirty mouth and lingering stares make me question his motives—and mine.

As the line blurs between real and pretend, only one thing is certain: there are secrets hiding in this city full of black ties and white lies.

In just eight years, Davis—the son of one of the company’s billionaire founders—has transformed from a sweet college student into a respected VP (with a body that would have made Leonardo da Vinci himself abandon the Mona Lisa). Olivia—once a quick-witted, unbothered seductress—is now a driven business school student, paired up with Davis on a high-profile acquisition.

But acquisitions aren’t the only thing on Davis’s mind. Still hurting from Olivia’s betrayal after all these years, Davis concocts a plan: He’ll pay Olivia ten thousand dollars a week for every week of her summer internship. Her end of the bargain? She gives Davis full access to her body. All. Summer. Long.

Olivia thinks that this arrangement couldn’t be better. But little does she realize, Davis isn’t going to make this easy. He wants revenge. He’s going to push Olivia’s limits by saying every humiliating, filthy thing that comes to mind. But Davis makes a critical mistake: He underestimates Olivia. And for every humiliating thing he says, she has a scorching response ready for him. Let the games begin.

Accomplished, acerbic, and infamously attractive CEO Gus Winter is finally going to sell his company to Davenport-Ridgeway—a move insiders have anticipated for fifteen years. It’s the deal of the century. On the other hand, jet-setting socialite Julia Ridgeway, whose billionaire father is the Chairman of Davenport-Ridgeway, couldn’t care less about the acquisition if she tried. So, it’s no surprise she doesn’t realize the insanely hot man she verbally decimated at her father’s birthday party just so happens to be—you guessed it—Gus Winter. Now, Gus refuses to sell his company…unless Julia spends one night with him.

But what Gus doesn’t realize is that nobody can tell Julia Ridgeway what to do. Not her billionaire father, not her ambitious older brother, and definitely not Gus. She’ll agree to Gus’s terms, but there’s no way she’s going to make it easy.But that’s perfect because Gus had zero intention of making it easy for the quick-witted heiress who rejected him either.

With everything riding on these two alphas (who couldn’t have less in common…other than a magnetic, ravenous, physical attraction to the other) the deal is uncertain. In fact, only one thing is certain: Julia and Gus both pissed off the wrong billionaire.
