adult arrangement brokenheart business chicklit friendstolovers love lovestory originalstory relationship romance

Morgan Cahill loved her job... that is, until her coworker-slash-cheating ex-boyfriend Justin was promoted to be her boss. 

All of a sudden Morgan's love life becomes the main source of office gossip, and she dreads going into work now, though she would never admit it to anyone. When she meets a handsome businessman named Marcus, however, he suggests they enter a mutually beneficial arrangement. Could their ruse actually work?

The only woman Marcus Sato had ever loved wanted his money more than she wanted his heart. Even two years after their break-up, he refused to go on dates while his family hounded him to find a nice girl to marry. Desperate to end their constant badgering, Marcus finds help from an unlikely source: a cute marketing analyst struggling to maintain her own workplace reputation. 

Could she be the perfect solution to his problem, or is he risking heartbreak all over again?

Especially when the long days and late nights working together threaten to put not only their careers on the line, but their hearts too.
