In the glittering world of Manhattan's elite, I've always had everything money could buy. Except her ? Annalise Gellar.
Blond curls. Expensive silk dress. Lips carved by angels, sent by the devil to torment me. She kissed me once before marrying my rival the next day. Since then, we've both sullenly hated one another.
Three years later, my rival dies, leaving sweet little Annalise with his billion-dollar empire. She reluctantly seeks my help to navigate the business world. For her, it's survival. For me, an opportunity to finally claim her body and erase my rival from memory.
I propose a deal: my mentorship in exchange for her warming my bed. She's wary of love after her husband's death. And me? I've only ever wanted her for her body. We both agree that love is off the table.
But as I tutor Annalise in all things business, lines blur. Hate bleeds into something a lot like love. The workplace becomes our battleground. In a game where rules are meant to be broken, can we resist the allure of forbidden love?
