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?

Nico rushed into the ICU, Rebecca at his side. After telling the charge nurse who he was and who he was there to see, they were ushered to a nearby waiting room so the medical personnel could make sure Leopold was up for visitors.

They won’t allow more than two people at a time, and only for ten minutes. He needs as much rest as possible. But when he woke up you were the first person he asked for.”


“Thanks for being with him, Edith,” Nico said gratefully. “I thought he’d be unconscious for longer, otherwise Rebecca and I would have come here sooner.”
