Alison Bernard has no time for love-not when she's barely staying afloat. At 24, she juggles long hours as a live-in maid for the powerful Stratford family, a mountain of unpaid bills, and the haunting weight of her past. She's broke, exhausted, and determined to give her little brother the future she never had. Love? That's a luxury she can't afford.
Sebastian Stratford has it all-wealth, looks, and the promise of becoming CEO of his family's billion-dollar empire. But there's a catch: he needs to marry to inherit his share of the fortune. Cold, calculated, and emotionally unavailable, Sebastian doesn't believe in fairy tales-especially not after the childhood that shaped him.
When sunshine-hearted Alison collides with stormy, untouchable Sebastian, sparks fly-but this connection could cost them everything. She's is his distraction And falling for each other is the one thing neither of them can afford.
