A swoony billionaire contemporary romance prequel to USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde's Cruel Truth.

I'm not prepared to meet someone as sexy as Sam Rutherford on the first day of my new job.

Then I find out we're sharing an office...for the next year.

I can't deny that I'm intrigued by his charming Southern drawl and rugged good looks. Normally I would have jumped at the chance.

But there's only one problem.

He has no idea who I am. I'm not just Lark, the cute girl at work.

I'm a multibillion-dollar heiress. And I made a deal with my parents: one year away from the city and then I take over the family business.

Despite everything, I want to risk it for him.

I don't care if I break my cruel promise.
