Since escaping an uncomfortable home life where her mother married her bully's father, Marissa thought she was done accepting betrayal. Until she walks in on her boyfriend sleeping with someone she considered a close friend. To make matters worse, she has to keep holding things in because her pseudo-sister is in a high-risk pregnancy and her husband is her ex's best friend. After enduring months of holding things in to keep the peace, she's faced with the ultimate betrayal: they're naming the baby after her cheating ex. As if that wasn't enough, her manager had lied to her about a promotion, and her incompetent subordinate was now her boss. Done with being everyone's pushover, Marissa decides to take a step back from the friends who betrayed her, quit her toxic job, and find a lucrative job in the company of her dreams. The catch? She will have to work under her childhood bully, turned stepbrother, Gideon. And as an added stipulation, she'll need to go back home for Friday night dinner every week. Now she'll have to decide if her career is worth returning home and facing demons she'd been keeping at bay for almost a decade.
