Sweet Little Lies

I came to New York to prove something. To my parents. To the world. To myself.

At 25, I have the career. The apartment. The painfully forced smile at every cocktail party where I pretend I'm closer to finding a man who checks every box on the Cambell list. Wealthy. Respected. Elite.

But love? Real, aching, soul-shattering love? That's been harder to find than the perfect pair of Louboutins on sale.

Enter Hilton Romano.
CEO of Romano Banks. Billionaire. Untouchable. Dangerous. And entirely, devastatingly off-limits.

He's everything my parents warned me about: arrogant, ruthless, and born into a life that doesn't need to earn anything. But when he looks at me, it's like the rest of the world doesn't matter. He doesn't want me to impress anyone. Not his board. Not my family. Just him.

And he would burn the whole world down to make me smile.

I should run.
Instead, I'm falling.
And I'm not sure I'll survive the landing.

Because Hilton Romano doesn't love like normal people.
He owns.
And now...
He wants to own me.
