[Billionaire / Fake Relationship] After seeing the women's shelter she worked hard to build burn down to the ground, social worker Emma Cavendish will do anything in her power to put it back together - even if it includes accepting a fake marriage deal with the same guy who broke her heart years ago.
*****
Emma has dedicated her life to helping women escape abusive relationships. So, when the women's shelter she poured her heart into goes up in flames, she's determined to rebuild it, no matter what it takes.
The last thing she expects, though, is that the help she needs will come in the form of Asher Sullivan - the only man she's ever really loved and the one she's tried so hard to forget.
Once upon a time, Asher was everything Emma thought she wanted in a man. Apart from being smoking hot, he was charming, funny, and her rock when she most needed him.
But when life got rough, he bailed, leaving Emma heartbroken and struggling to move on.
Now, years later, he's back with an offer that seems almost too good to be true - ten million dollars and a promise of financial security for life.
The catch? She'll have to agree to a fake marriage so he can save his family's business.

"That's not what I meant..." I chew on my lip.
"Well, what the fuck did you mean then?" He shouts.
"When I'm there I don't have to think about you!" I yell back. Wrong choice of words again, Sophia. I curse myself.
His form immediately stands and he strides over to me, he is now inches away from me, his body is so close to mine that I am forced to take a couple of steps backwards. My back is pressed up against the window. Noah's breathing is deep but he speaks softly, "when you're there all I can think about is you." He raises his hand and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.
I step around him and head for the door, "uh I'm going to go to the hospital." I pick up my bag and rush out of the door leaving Noah in the room and saving myself from doing something I would definitely regret and make me change my mind about going back to Pennsylvania.

'I love you too,' were the last words Sophia heard before she was banished from her home city and she left without a second thought. If she didn't she knew she would be in danger. A month and a half later Sophia returns as a person close to her is in critical condition in hospital. Everyone's eyes are on Sophia, and they are looking for someone to blame.
Will she return to her new life and forget about New York once and for all? Or will she fit right back into the McKenzie's life as if she never left? And as for her relationship with Noah, there might be a chance for romance after all.
