Elena Vale
The founder who built the company Marrow took. She signs a deal with her enemy's enemy to get her name back.
Her company was stolen. Her name was erased. Then a billionaire's ex-wife offered her a deal: date him for 30 days, and get close enough to ruin everyone who took it all.
The story
Beauty founder Elena Vale watches Celeste Marrow celebrate a new chapter for the brand Elena created, with Elena's own formulas and without her name.
Then Vanessa Cross makes an offer. Date her ex-husband, billionaire investor Adrian Cross, for 30 days. Be seen. Let people talk. In return, Vanessa will put Elena close enough to the people who took her company to prove it.
Adrian knows from the first night that Elena was sent. So they write their own rules: perform for everyone else, never for each other. The rules hold until the night nobody is watching, and the evidence Elena came for starts pointing at the man she is falling for.
