When Passion Meets Power: A Dangerous Dance Begins
Imagine walking into a conference room to discover your ex-boyfriend's intimidating older brother has purchased your entire company-a $400 million acquisition-just to orchestrate this meeting with you. This is exactly what happens to Margo, an underappreciated artist working at Sterling Communications, when she comes face-to-face with Beck Sinclair. At 42, Beck has only grown more magnetic since their brief but electric connection three years ago-a rain-soaked weekend in the Hamptons that ended in heartbreak and unspoken promises. Without hesitation, he presents his proposition: become both his personal assistant and fake fiancee for twelve months to help secure a crucial $2 billion deal threatened by his playboy reputation. The compensation? A $250,000 salary, a penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park, and most temptingly for Margo, an introduction to Camden Hunter, who could transform her artistic dreams into reality. The arrangement seems straightforward on paper, but the undercurrent of attraction between them proves impossible to ignore as Beck's intensity when he calls her "Violet" carries weighted meaning from their shared past.
