Kelly Donovan is tired of being the last single woman in her friend group. While her friends fall in love with powerful, possessive men, Kelly struggles with dating disasters and bad luck, waiting for something real. She meets Xerses Norouzi, a brilliant, ruthless billionaire tech entrepreneur with a dangerous reputation. When a reckless lie forces them into a fake relationship, their explosive chemistry becomes undeniable. As Kelly sees the man beneath Xerses’s wealth and power, and he falls for the one woman he cannot control, both become increasingly reckless. Kelly refuses to be owned—she demands to be loved. Xerses must learn that keeping her requires the one thing he’s never offered anyone: himself.
