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.”

All Signs Point to Us

Oh God, his lips… they were so erotic. She moaned in pleasure against his mouth, kissing him back fervently as he grazed her lips, urgently and demanding. 


She needed no coaxing and opened her mouth willingly. His tongue slid in and rubbed against hers, and proceeded to drive her senseless. She couldn’t feel anything else until his hand glided across her navel. 


She flinched. How did it get there? She couldn’t think further as he was raking through her hair, the clawing of his fingers on her scalp sending a wave of goosebumps down her back. He tugged her orange-red mane backwards and deepened the kiss, luring a groan of pleasure from her.
