Nico Vann is poised to become the next CEO of Vannevar Software, until his grandfather gives him an ultimatum - get married or lose his place in the company. Nico has sworn to never marry or have children, thanks to his own parents' tumultuous marriage and messy divorce, but his grandfather has other plans for him.

Rebecca Owens is unemployed and on the verge of bankruptcy, thanks to an ex-boyfriend who ran up debts in her name and then disappeared. She lands a temporary job at Vannevar Software and unexpectedly kindles a friendship with her temporary boss, Nico Vann. When he abruptly proposes marriage, she accepts--but both of them see it as nothing more than a business transaction, despite their mutual attraction and growing regard. Will the trauma of their pasts destroy their pretend marriage and their burgeoning relationship?

Eva, who was seated on one of the plush chairs, across from Leopold, spoke up. “She was hit by a car, Mr. Vann. She took approximately four months of medical leave and just returned today.” 


Leopold’s brow creased in confusion, but then his face cleared. “Right, right, her accident. I remember now. A drunk driver, as I recall.”


“That’s right,” Nico said, and Rebecca detected a faint hint of relief in his tone. “Rebecca was her temporary replacement, and she did a superb job.”
