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. 

But you promised to help Theo, her conscience poked at her.   

Theo wasn't grinning. He remained still as he held her gaze, as if he was waiting for her to decide. 

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.”

Aurora braided her hair and stepped back to take a turn in front of the mirror. “He’s not my man.” 


“Sure. And I’m Liv Accardi.” Trish rolled her eyes at Aurora’s glare, then added, “He found you a job. He gave you nice clothes.” She pointed to a heap of brand new clothes on Aurora’s bed. “Anyone can see that he’s doing all he can to get close to you.” 


“He’s just a friend, Trish. Stop it,” Aurora protested. Her phone buzzed and she hastily picked it up to avoid more remarks from Trish. 


Madame Zoya: Miss Aurora. We had a lot of business the past two days. Thank you for your hard work. You will get a bonus of two thousand dollars. I will give you your check next week.


Aurora gaped at her screen in silence. With this money, she's down to only three thousand. Her luck can’t be changing, can it?
