Cassandra Knight is the only daughter of a ruthless tech tycoon worth billions. Tired of men who only want her for her last name, she decides to test the world and herself. She forges a new identity, Cassie Hale, a broke, small-town girl looking for work. She moves to another city where no one recognizes her, determined to live a normal life. She gets a job as a junior assistant in a cutting-edge architecture firm owned by the enigmatic and intensely private billionaire, Adrian Cole, a man feared in business circles for his cold precision and rumored romantic disinterest. From day one, Cassie’s unpolished charm and unexpected wit throw Adrian off balance. She sees through his icy exterior, and he sees a rare honesty in her eyes, one that makes him want to know everything she’s hiding.
