It started with an encounter. Paths crossed, leaving a stain on his three-piece suit; she marked him. Little did she know, she was marking him, with passion scalding as the stain. In his arrogance, she found her heart wanting, her body quivering in pleasant intimidation. She had marked him, but little did she know, she would become unexpectedly his. Meet Maddie Bennett, a florist in Manhattan. She is in the business of sharing bouquets of happiness; every day is a new day in her world, fresh, original, and new, just as each petal she has showcased in her little shop. Her dad's world? Same city, only 60 floors up. He's built businesses, living a life of luxury, but for how long? Enter Jared Stirling, her dad's grumpy billionaire business partner. Vexingly handsome, masculine, and exuding power and status, he crosses paths with Maddie in her father's penthouse. Maddie can't deny something more to this man besides the superficial - a wounded past that seeps through the mask he puts on. There's something that's drawing him to Maddie, the undeniable electricity she feels as his body grazes against hers. As Maddie's father struggles to keep his business afloat, Jared comes up with a rather scandalous offer. A stuck-together fake marriage with his business partner's daughter to appease investors, which fixes his playboy reputation. The agenda? To get the press to believe he's reformed so he can close his next big deal - an offer Maddie can't seem to refuse. Will she take it up? Only one way to find out. M.J. Power's delectable and passionate book encapsulates an unexpected love story between Maddie and Jared. Delve into the emotional rollercoaster ride, peppered with steamy sequences, in one of the most riveting young adult romance books you will ever read!
