Aaron Cooper doesn’t complain about his life. He has a supportive family to lean on when he needs it most, a solid company he's kept at the top, and more than enough money to spend however he wants. So then, why does it feel like something’s missing? Bess Lee has nothing—not even a bed to sleep in at night. The last few months have been brutal, a constant struggle to survive each day, hour, and minute. But no matter how low she falls, she refuses to ever set foot in a foster home again… Not ever. Bess isn’t a criminal. She isn’t a thief. But she hasn’t eaten in days, and she’s starving. So if she steals a little cash from that guy in the suit and tie who looks like he has money to burn, it won’t really hurt anyone… right? Unless he catches her— And that’s exactly what happens. Aaron is stunned to find this tiny pixie of a girl trying to swipe the smallest bill from his wallet. With her innocent face, she definitely doesn’t look like a criminal, but he knows appearances can be deceiving. And just when he’s about to call the police to deal with the girl and her devilishly beautiful eyes, she shocks him with a confession—she’s underage. And he knows he shouldn’t listen to her pleas. He shouldn’t care when she begs him not to send her back to foster care—that’s exactly what would happen if he called the police. He absolutely shouldn’t offer to let her stay at his place while he figures out what to do with her. And most of all, he knows it’s a terrible idea to want to keep something so clearly fragile and innocent. So why does he do it?
