Publisher's Summary

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That's the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss. Until the day he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract-fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other have to live together and act as though they are madly in love? Sparks. That's what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can't live without?

Amazing workplace a marriage of convience

I loved this story about Richard and Katie. His childhood story is depressing, but Katie is too. How she helps him become a better person is such a touching story. His parents neglect him and do not know love until Katie and the new position at a new company show him that there is love.

He is trying to get revenge on his company by going to another backfire, but ends up doing well in the long run. He makes a contract with Katie for a marriage to help him get into the new company, and during this time, he learns that love does exist.

I recommend it and am going to read the next one, called The Baby Clause.
