Locked away since childhood, Leonardo Finch inherits a million-dollar empire and a world he doesn't understand. Alexander Maxwell is struggling to build a life and needs his job at Finch Industries to survive. Thrown together, the reclusive heir and the weary assistant form an unlikely bond. As Alexander guides Leonardo through a world that is terrifyingly new to one and brutally unforgiving to the other, their professional relationship deepens into a connection that surprises them both.
Leonardo Finch, 25, his world was the mansion, a prison of plush carpets and endless books where his father's love was both his comfort and his cage. Now, with his father gone, Leonardo is paralysed, thrust into a terrifying reality he doesn't understand. He is taking the helm of Finch Industries not from ambition, but from sheer, trembling obligation, because the lawyers insist the company will fall apart without a Finch at the helm-and he is the only one left.
Alexander Maxwell, 21, clawed his way out of his small town with nothing but a scholarship and a desperate need to provide for the family he left behind. Every day was a precarious balancing act of lectures and work, his future hinging on the pay check from Finch Industries. Now, with the old boss dead, his stability is shattered. The news of the reclusive, unknown son taking over fills him with a deep, pragmatic dread; the thought of losing it all makes his blood run cold.
A man who has only ever dreamed of the sky, and another fighting to keep his. Two worlds are about to collide.

"You better not tell anyone about this."
"Aw why not? I'm sure your fandom of desperate girls would love to know that their precious prince charming needs a babysitter." I smile innocently back at his death glare.
"I'm serious, nerd. I could make your life hell."
