[UNDER MAJOR EDITING] 'So, it's agreed then? If I help you with your financial problems, you'll pretend to be my girlfriend?' He asks skeptically. I give out a loud dramatic sigh. 'Yes. How many times do I have to say it?' He rolls his eyes and says with a cocky smile, 'as many times it will take you to mean it.' I scuff in disgust. 'I, Grace Thompson, will never mean it.' 'Never ever?' 'Never ever.' Grace Thompson has never had it all. She's lost her family in a car accident and a battle to blood cancer that wasn't won. She keeps her self from starving and going without a home working as a photographer. And all she has is an old beat up car, a lousy apartment, and a camera. But, just when she thinks her life can't get any worse she gets a voice mail from her landlord telling her, her lease is up. Using her camera as a distraction she accidentally ends up snapping an 'unwanted' pic of William Reed. William being the only born son to James and Katherine Reed, the owners of: REED INCORPORATED, the largest, and one of the most known companies in the business industry. By mistake, Will over hears that Grace needs money, and uses this as an advantage. This leads them to the agreement. The one that changed their lives. ®All Rights Reserved

Everyone has a fear. Fear of spiders? Arachnophobia. Fear of small spaces? Claustrophobia. And of course, the fear of being tickled by feathers: pteronophobia. Sophie Smart fears drowning. No, her fear isn't some made up malarkey like exposedflabophobia (acute paranoia when wearing a swimsuit and baring pasty thighs and a round bottom). Sophie drowned as a child. She died for three minutes. Her childhood trauma is real. Yet Sophie, hot-shot advertising executive, isn't a child anymore. Now Sophie's most important client, handsome Matthew Silver, is insisting she learn how to swim. She can't blame him really - he's the owner of a chain of swimming centers, and Sophie's in charge of his new advertising campaign. The last thing Sophie wants to do is get in the water, in a clingy swimsuit, with a client she's trying to impress. She's not going to win him over flapping around like an idiot, is she? But with a broken heart from her last relationship, maybe getting into the pool is just what Sophie needs. Maybe she can trust Matthew with her fears. Maybe it's time for her to forget about her past and take the plunge?
