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 sat up with a wince. Theo was still there, sleeping soundly beside her. 


What day is it? She squinted her eyes, trying to reconnect the recent events. 


It's Monday! Sh*t! What time is it now? Frantic, she glanced around, caught a watch on Theo's wrist and, without giving it much thought, tugged at his arm to check the time. 


Theo felt a strong pull on his arm and thought a bear caught it until Aurora's exclamation of surprise pierced through his dreams.  


Rudely awaken, he sat up with a groan, "D*mn it, Aurora." His girlfriend has the strength of an ox. 


As the grogginess in his eyes cleared, he saw a redhead nymph rushing about, picking up things and throwing them back on the carpet. 


With a growl, he dropped his head and grabbed his forehead. 


"For God's sake, babe. Put some clothes on!"
