Bold

by Victoria Pinder

"He's my boyfriend." The problem is the serious trillionaire she just pointed at has never met her.** Avril Lawson is three months behind on a drug that costs fourteen thousand dollars a month to keep her little sister Abby alive. The promotion at Sodani Tech would cover it, if her boss ever stopped making "you'd be more promotable with a steady guy" comments. Avril is drowning in a fluorescent rooftop bar, one martini from screaming, when she locks eyes across the room with the most serious, unreachable man she has ever half-pretended to know. "Kir. Darling. There you are." Kir Norouzi is a financial wizard, the most rule-bound of the Norouzi brothers, the one nobody ever calls reckless. He should walk away. Instead he sets his drink down, slides an arm around her waist, and tells her boss their six-month anniversary is next week. Fake dating. Grumpy introverted billionaire / desperate-and-bold heroine. Sick sibling motivation. Corporate sexist boss thrown to the wolves.
