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.

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.”
