WHAT IF THEY ARE BOTH WRONG?
When Emilia returns to face the man she ran away from five years earlier, she's determined to cut him out of her life for good, but things have changed. This time Joshua is holding all the cards and he's got other plans.
JOSHUA DARKLY
Emilia is a spoiled brat who's had life handed to her on a silver platter, and she takes everything I worked my ass off to have for granted.
Living off of daddy's dime, her free ride is about to come to a screeching halt. She's heading back here—to the place she should have never run away from—to settle her father's estate.
She's confident she is the sole heir to all of her father's possessions, including the company I helped him build, but I have a surprise for her. Not only am I the new owner of Connor Realty, but I'm also her mentor and guardian for the period of one year.
She has a lot of anger, and I'm patiently waiting for her to test her boundaries with me.
She'll push her luck one too many times, and I can't wait to show her how dark my beast has become in her absence.
EMILIA CONNOR
I left home five years ago and never looked back until my father died of a sudden heart attack.
Now I'm back to settle his estate and face my demons. Well, one demon in particular: Joshua Darkly, the reason I left in the first place.
Because of a stipulation in my father's will, it looks like I'm here to stay for a while. I've been declared Joshua's ward for a period of one year, and if I don't complete my time, I'll lose everything.
I'll swallow my pride and serve my sentence, but I'm not going down without a fight. I'll challenge his patience every chance I get without getting too close to him.
Even now, after everything that's happened, I am drawn to him and it's something I need to face head on and cut out of my life before it consumes me whole.
