Robert Harper, a man in his fifties and CEO of Harper Inc, hires Sarah Brooks to be his assistant. But he doesn't realize that this was actually a part of Sarah's plan. The real reason she's in the company is to uncover the truth of a terrible incident that took place years back, for a mission that she'd been obsessed with for years; one that nobody knows or can imagine.

After a slip up and an unexpected event that almost shatters the company's reputation, Kevin gets a whiff of suspicion on Sarah. As they discreetly set out to find answers, Sarah and Kevin are unknowingly thrown into a whirlwind of conflicting truths and twisted motives. The tension between the two becomes palpable as horrifying truths come to light.

Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless.

Wattpad Creator! Happy and proud. HIM: Staying the night? Not my thing. Hearts and flowers? Boring. Falling in love? Not anytime soon. Settling down? Off the table. Getting married? You're kidding me, right? That was me before the night we first met. Because, well, meeting a hot chick that made me hard just by looking at her was definitely not in my plans when I sneaked out of a woman's apartment after what was already a long night. Taking her home and getting her a chocolate cake, though, was kind of intentional. But falling for her? Boy, that was pretty much inevitable. HER: He came out of nowhere, literally. I was there, sitting on that bench, barefoot and crying and just getting my heart broken in peace and silence. Then he appeared, all mad and furious and sexy and tall and just drool-worthy! And just like that, despite my poor attempts of escaping him, he had me wrapped in his world. A crazy yet heart-fluttering world, that I have absolutely no intentions of leaving anytime soon. ------- Character development is a main theme in this book.
