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.

After seeing the photograph of Rose with her baby, Lloyd, Miles now knew beyond doubt that he was his son. One day LLoyd would inherit the Seton property empire, a business which Miles's father had created from scratch and which Miles now ran. He was determined that he would take responsibility for raising his son but to his intense frustration and anger this meant that he would be forced to make contact with Rose, the woman he had spent the better part of a year trying to forget.

But then his friend Max, whom he had known since childhood, had told Miles that Rose was cheating on him and he had the evidence to prove it. So not only had he been taken for a mug and fallen for a lying, traitorous bitch but now she had his son too. Rose was dreading having to meet with Miles. She had hidden away from the eyes of the world hoping to be left alone after the hurt of Miles's very public dumping of her but she knew that it was inevitable he would come after her now that a picture of Lloyd had been published in an international gossip magazine.

"You seem to have forgotten why you're standing here in the first place... Perhaps, I should remind you. We're getting married tomorrow just because I wish to see my family's company progress further. Therefore, because of the money. For future reference, there's no need for you to act like a wife. Don't ask me questions relating to my personal life and don't try to get close to me. I don't like you now and I definitely won't like you in a few months." With that, he walked away, leaving me to reminisce on his harsh statement. A crazy chuckle escaped my lips as I try my best not to feel affected by his words.
