Aurora is a woman with the worst luck – she can’t seem to hold onto a job, though she is desperate to pay off a large debt and escape her past. Wondering when her luck will change, she falls into a job as a fortune teller and meets a young billionaire with dangerous charisma who offers an intriguing deal. If she pretends to be his girlfriend, he will help her with her debts. Aurora takes the job, promising herself that she can keep things strictly business. However, as she learns more about the devastatingly handsome and charming Theo Barone, she will realize that the future is not always easy to predict. 

“She wanted his lips on hers. 

But she didn’t expect their first kiss to happen under such circumstances. At a loss for words, Aurora could only stare at Theo as hundreds of thoughts zoomed through her mind at once.

Is she really going to let him kiss her in front of all these strangers? If she didn’t, he would be embarrassed in front of his friends. 

But they’re my lips! Aurora protested silently.

He's giving me a choice, Aurora thought. 

In a fleeting glance, she caught Audrey smirking at her -- and decided. 

Aurora inched closer with her eyes set on his mouth. Theo took the hint and swooped down to take what she was offering. 

The second their lips touched, it was electrifying.”

A replacement is definitely not an issue - there are plenty of women out there, pretty and eager. But he only wants Aurora.


“I have a solution.” He tugged at her hand and pulled her out of the shop.
