"Why do they call you The Ace?" I asked hesitantly.
He looked up at me, his deep emerald eyes burning right through my skin. "Because I never miss a shot."
When 24-year-old Alexandra Miller loses her miserable job at the bank she's worked for since graduating from college, she doesn't know what to do. She has no job, no money, and her best friend, Cassandra Dixon, moved after graduation from their home city of Chicago to New York City for a position at an elite finance company, Agostini Finances.
After losing hope, Alex gets an unexpected call from Cassie about an opening position at the mysterious, top-tier company in New York - and they've made it clear they want Alexandra to interview for the position, although they know nothing about her.
Once she stumbles across a rude, god-like man called The Ace, her entire world seems to flip upside-down. Her life went from a never-ending routine to each day being crazier than the last and it doesn't take long for Alexandra to know that there is something deeper behind Agostini.
She knows that her shiny resume isn't the reason behind her job offer at the exclusive multi-million dollar company, and after getting caught in the chaos, she realizes that there are secrets not just about Agostini she has yet to uncover.
