SLOANE Everything about me screamed "perfect." In my own world, I was the exact definition of perfection. Perfect body, perfect grades, perfect grace... until my world came crashing down. I was never one to apologize whenever my actions hurt someone. If I did something, they deserved it. That was what I believed. The moment I was asked to beg an influential person for forgiveness, I was presented with a choice: succumb or walk away. Fortunately—or unfortunately—I chose the latter, unaware that my life was about to take a completely different direction. I asked my best friend for help getting my life back together, but what I hadn't anticipated was Aaron Calloway. Somehow, I got into a contract marriage with him out of desperation to get things working for me. I hated men like him...reserved, soft-spoken, unwilling to bend to my will. My best friend's stepbrother. The owner and CEO of FuTure Medicals but what happens when hatred turns into something unexplainable? When the emotional void I have spent years ignoring suddenly becomes impossible to hide? Aaron Calloway was never supposed to become the man I wanted to know and I was never supposed to fall in love with him.
