Isabelle's life shatters when her ruthless billionaire boss proposes to her in front of thousands-on the day he was supposed to propose to someone else.
*****
Isabelle Harrison hates her life, especially the man she claims ruined it: Aaron Cavanaugh. Known as the most ruthless shark in the business world, and heir to a diamond empire. AKA: her boss. She has planned his murder right down to the last detail.
When he suddenly proposes to her in front of thousands, on the very day he is expected to propose to his long-term girlfriend, her life descends into chaos.
This forces Isabelle into an offer she cannot refuse, and into a story where no one is who they claim to be.
Could this agreement be what pulls them together or the final blow that destroys them? And what are Aaron's real intentions in marrying her?
And sometimes, the truth is far more dangerous than the lie.
