Nova Blake doesn't belong in the world of high society - but she knows how to set it on fire. Smart-mouthed, sharp-eyed, and done taking orders from anyone, Nova crashes Manhattan's most elite gala just for the thrill. But when she collides - literally - with Maddox Hale, the cold, calculating heir to Hale Industries, the spark is instant. And electric. And explosively inconvenient. He's power in a suit. She's chaos in heels. After a tense encounter filled with verbal warfare and undeniable heat, Nova thinks she's seen the last of Maddox. Until a mysterious envelope lands on her doorstep - offering her a once-in-a-lifetime internship... working directly under him. There's just one catch: To secure a critical PR deal for Hale Industries and win the scholarship she desperately needs, Nova has to fake date Maddox Hale - the arrogant devil who makes her blood boil in every way. Two months. One contract. No feelings. What starts as a strategic lie soon spirals into real glances, real touches, and real danger - because in this game of power and pretense, someone's going to fall first... ...and Nova's always been bad at love - but worse at goodbye.
