Signed, Sealed, Sinful
When Lara lost both her parents at nineteen, her world collapsed overnight. She gave up her design scholarship, dropped out of school, and became the sole provider for her elderly grandmother and younger brother. After months of dead-end job interviews and sleepless nights, she finally lands a position as executive assistant to the CEO of Williams Group, one of the most powerful real estate empires in the world.
To celebrate, her best friends Khloe and Maya drag her out for one unforgettable night.
At a rooftop bar in Manhattan, Lara meets a stranger who calls himself Vincent. He is tall, green-eyed, and impossibly charming. One drink turns into five, one dance turns into a kiss, and by sunrise, Lara wakes up in a Miami penthouse with a splitting headache, a diamond ring on her finger, and a marriage certificate she cannot remember signing.
She tells herself it was a drunken mistake. One quick annulment will fix everything.
Then Monday arrives, and she walks into her new boss's office.
He is standing right there. Vincent. Only his real name is Xander Vincent Williams. Billionaire CEO. Her husband. Her boss. The one man who could destroy the fresh start she fought so hard to earn.
Some mistakes follow you to work on Monday morning.

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: Monday MorningI didn't sleep.Not a single minute. I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling, running through every possible version of Monday morning in my head, and each one ended in disaster. I imagined walking into the office and him being there. I imagined the look on his face when he saw me. I imagined everyone somehow knowing; the receptionist, the other assistants, the janitor; all of them whispering, "That's the girl who married the CEO in a drunken haze in Miami."By the time my alarm went off at seven, I had already been awake for hours. I dragged myself to the bathroom and stared at my reflection. Red eyes from no sleep. My braids needed redoing. My skin looked dull and tired. Lovely. Just the impression I wanted to make on my first day."You can do this," I told my reflection. "You are smart. You are capable. You got this job because you earned it. Whatever happened over the weekend is a mistake that will be fixed, and it has nothing to do with your ability to do this work."My reflection

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: The Ring on My FingerSomething was wrong with my pillow.It was too soft. Way too soft. My pillow at home was flat and lumpy, the kind you flip over twelve times a night trying to find one comfortable spot. This pillow felt like a cloud. A very expensive cloud.I groaned and pressed my face deeper into it, trying to ignore the hammer that someone was apparently using on the inside of my skull. My mouth tasted like something had died in it. My body felt like it had been through a washing machine, and the sunlight coming through my eyelids was so bright it burned.Wait. My bedroom didn't get sunlight in the morning. My window faced a brick wall.I forced my eyes open and blinked at the ceiling above me. White. Smooth. And... was that a mirror? I was staring at my own reflection, lying in a massive bed, tangled in white sheets, and very clearly not in Brooklyn.My heart started pounding.I sat up slowly, holding the sheet to my chest because oh God, I was naked. Completely, one hundred percent naked. I looke

Chapter: CHAPTER 1: Champagne and StrangersIf anyone ever tells you that tequila makes good decisions, they are lying.Khloe slid a third shot glass across the table and the neon lights of the rooftop bar blurred at the edges of my vision. The Manhattan skyline sparkled behind her like a wall of diamonds, and the warm night air wrapped around us like a blanket we didn't ask for."Drink up, Lara. Tonight we are celebrating the fact that you are no longer unemployed and I no longer have to watch you cry into your cereal at two in the morning." Khloe grinned and clinked her glass against mine before tipping her head back and swallowing the shot like water.Maya shook her head from the other side of the table. "Slow down, both of you. We just got here.""Maya, my love, the girl got the job. THE job. At one of the biggest companies in the world. If that doesn't call for shots, I don't know what does." Khloe waved the waitress over and ordered another round before I could protest.I laughed and pressed my hand against my chest. The
