In just one year, I lost my husband (and his brother), sold our home, moved across the country, quit my job, and watched my sister-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, move away. So, here I am—twenty-seven, an MBA with no job, and a heart held together by sheer willpower. And that's when Naomi, my mother-in-law, who also happens to be my best friend, introduces me to Kai Ipu. He's her oldest and dearest friend, a ridiculously successful, devastatingly handsome Black-Samoan CEO who built a corporate consulting firm from the ground up. He's older, brilliant, and way out of my league. So, obviously, I don't have to worry about falling for him, right? Then he offers me a job. And I never back down from a challenge.
