What’s It About?
After getting her heart broken by her womanizer cheating ex, Hannah went to a club to forget about herself for one night. After having the hottest night of her life with a mysterious man, she goes to an interview next morning. Only to stare at the same green eyes she had one-night stand with last night at the interview table – Damien Bass. The king of silicon avenue, Damien, says he needs a personal assistant. But the position comes with one small condition – to be his fake fiancé.
However, the most thrilled part is that Hannah rejects the position in one go, much to Damien’s surprise who is used to girls throwing themselves at him. Our leading lady is a force to be reckoned with – smart, resourceful, and not afraid to dive headfirst into danger. I was shouting – “Go GIRL” at those scenes.
Why I Loved It?
There are so many reasons, one of them being obsessed with men in finance, trust fund, 6’5, green eyes. One time, she goes clubbing against his wish, so he buys the place and kicks everyone out…..

Knightly’s writing draws you into the story, making it hard to put the book down. It’s perfect for anyone who loves a well-crafted thriller with plenty of surprises.
Themes that Stand Out
