Joy Reyes is running out of options. One missed rent payment away from homelessness, she makes a desperate call to the last person she expects to answer, Alexander Montalban, the billionaire whose name appears more often in business headlines than in public.

The more she learns about him, the harder it becomes to remember that her stay has an expiration date. Three months. That was the deal. But when you're the only reason a billionaire smiles, walking away may cost more than either of you expected.
