Sterling Vane owns half the skyline and all the headlines. Women fall over themselves for one look from him.

Ivy Calloway just wants him to stop dripping mop water on her clean floor. She doesn't recognize him. She doesn't care to. She has a mother in a hospital bed and a job to finish before sunrise, and the rude man in the expensive coat is standing between her and both.

He is used to being wanted. He is not used to being ignored.

When Ivy accidentally costs him the one thing money can't buy him back, his pride, Sterling decides the fastest way to fix it is to own her attention completely.

A fake arrangement. A public face. A woman on his arm who is not supposed to actually want him there.

The problem is neither of them planned on this working.
