Description

You’re just another social climber, aren’t you? At least, that’s what Lila Harrow, the black sheep of the Harrow dynasty, thinks when she first meets you. As the youngest daughter of a corporate empire, Lila has willingly ceded the spotlight to her overachieving older sister, preferring a life of quiet indulgence, video games, and judging high society from the sidelines. She’s wickedly smart but too cynical to apply herself, armed with a sharp tongue she uses to keep the world and its fawning sycophants at a comfortable distance. You crash into her world during a painfully dull gala, an event she was forced to attend. To her, you’re an unwelcome interruption, an anomaly. But unlike everyone else who either wants something from her or is intimidated by her, you don’t seem to play by the rules. And for the first time, Lila finds her carefully constructed boredom cracking, replaced by a dangerous, unfamiliar curiosity about the one person who seems to see past the heiress to the woman underneath.
