"I want you to depart immediately, on your own accord, or I will have you thrown out myself, Miss Livingston! Do you bloody understand me?!"

*A mysterious blue-eyed Adonis saved Marianne Livingston's life, in the dead of the night, when she was about to jump off a bridge*

***

A scared, naive girl. Her devilishly handsome but crippled boss. Endless possibilities. 

Marianne Livingston is desperate for a job to pull herself and her family(or whatever is left of it) out of the clutches of destitution. So, when she is offered a job to pose as companion to the misogynistic but exceedingly wealthy Mr. William Ripley, a hemiplegic, chocolate factory owner in Bristol, England, she all but jumps at the chance.

But she sure as hell isn't prepared to be at a screaming madman's beck and call, until it drives her to the brink of insanity. And more. Everything about him seems to make her hate him, but there is a very thin line between love and hate, and soon sparks begin to fly.
Can she let herself fall for her snobbish and handsome boss, the devil incarnate who is hell bent on making her life miserable? 
What happens when she finds out the real reason why Mr. Ripley lives alone? And that underneath his stoic, cold persona, lies a person waiting to be saved?
Will she be the one to save him, while fighting her own demons? Or will it be the other way round?
