James Fulton is not a nice man. His dad taught him to destroy things, and he enjoyed doing it. When he was kicked out of Harvard for cheating, he could have taken it as a wake up call.
He didn't.
Paisley finds joy in simple things: snow cones, roller skates, kids. She doesn't have an ambitious bone in her body, but her friends don't mind. She cheers them on when they're up and supports them when they're down. Everyone loves Paisley, and for good reason.
She's always there when you need her.
When Paisley and James meet at a friend's wedding, no one expects sparks to fly. They're far too different to ever be a good fit.
Everyone is wrong.
But Paisley has a secret. Something none of her friends know. When that secret calls her home, she must face all the things she has ignored. She needs help to survive, but asking for it will expose the truth she has been hiding.
Her family has a debt, and to her great dismay, the debtor is business piranha James Fulton.
