She never imagined it would land her a contract for one of the city’s most prestigious charity galas. Her excitement shatters when she meets Marion Whitfield, the billionaire behind the deal, through his mother.

Their first encounter is enough to make Demetria swear she’ll never deal with him again.
But contracts bind, sparks fly, and somewhere between insults, banter, and stolen glances, hate begins to blur into something neither of them expected… and both might be too proud to admit.
Can she bury the hate long enough to fall for him?
