He’s the boss I love to hate. Now, he’s the roommate I can’t escape.
I have three rules for surviving New York: Work hard, pay off my crushing student loans, and never, ever get noticed by Julian Sterling.
I failed all three before breakfast.
Julian is the "Shark of Park Avenue." As the city’s most ruthless divorce attorney, he sees love as a liability and marriage as a trap. He is arrogant, controlling, and devastatingly handsome in a bespoke suit. He’s also my boss.
I planned to keep my head down. But a shocking clause in our godmother’s will has changed everything. To save his inheritance and keep my job, we have to do the unthinkable: Live together in his ten-million-dollar Tribeca penthouse for six months.
If I leave, he loses everything. If he kicks me out, the estate is forfeited.
Now, we are trapped in a war of passive-aggressive Post-it notes, labeled refrigerator shelves, and shower schedules. I thought the hardest part would be his cold perfectionism. I was wrong.
The hardest part is seeing the man beneath the suit. The insomniac who haunts the kitchen at 3 AM. The protector who vows to destroy my enemies. The man who looks at me with a hunger that threatens to shatter every rule we’ve set.
We signed a treaty to keep things professional. But in the silence of the loft, the lines between enemy and lover are blurring.
I can survive his cruelty. I’m not sure I can survive his heart.
