Spoiler filled review: 

Nova lost her parents and it is just her and her two older sisters helping run their parents diner they opened up together as newly weds. Her two sisters Constance and Raquel manipulated the innocent Nova to be an escort for this Billionaire to make their family money - greedy sisters. Nova is the prettiest of the sisters and that's why they want HER to do it. Her sisters blame her because Nova looks the most like their mother and they were on the way to pick her up from dance class when they got into an accident in a rain storm. Nova was given to Lincoln for the week as a present by his business partner friends to "unwind" after all his hard working - he never took a vacation in 10 years. Nova's sisters want her to trap him into sex, pretending she's on the pill to get more money. Lincoln doesn't like to be touched but there's something about Nova that entrances him. Nova is teaching Lincoln how to relax more. Lincoln rushes to save Nova when he realizes that her sisters had threatened her into getting pregnant even though Nova had begun to fall in love with Lincoln. Nova's sisters were planning to kill her and make it look like an accident before Lincoln came and saved her - fucking her for the first time in front of her sisters ???? They end up having two kids, a boy and a girl and get married.

 

Final Thoughts: 

All and all, I thought this was a really good short story. The characters were pretty cute together even though they fell in love in less than 10 days! I'm also surprised how willing he was okay to be with her even after knowing what she had originally planned - it's crazy to me to think about. Putting that aside I enjoyed it!
