Fiona POVAndy doesn’t move from the doorway when he spots us, his eyes jumping back and forth between me and Nolan. Part of me wants to crawl into myself and hide while the other, angrier part, wants to lean into Nolan and show Andy that I’ve moved on from his lying, cheating ass.I know what he se
It’s almost peaceful.Or it was, until a hand slaps down on my desktop.“Did you chase me here just to get my attention?” Andy asks, leaning into my personal space. I try to roll my chair back, but his free hand grabs the back of it, forcing me to stay put. Honestly, I’m surprised he took the initia
Fiona POVNo, it couldn’t be. King Nolan just warned me sternly that our relationship is strictly professional. Not personal.I calm down and open the message’s attached document and nearly gasp at the list of a hundred things to do as Nolan’s personal secretary. There are so many tasks on the list,
Something clatters behind me, and I jump.“Get in the car, Fiona.”I turn and look at Nolan then at Nate, wondering if I’d imagined Nolan’s voice.Instead of arguing, I pull the back door open and climb in. There’s no way I’m standing out here in the dark while waiting to be jumped or worse. I’ll ta
Fiona POVMy fingers brush the edge of the glass containing the last traces of Black Ivory beans in the office. I push up onto my toes, trying and failing to reach the container.“I don’t know whether to be sorry for King Nolan or to see this as an opportunity,” a woman’s voice says from outside the
I haven’t seen him in action, but the clear admiration tells me that Nolan is good at what he does.As the meeting begins, I make sure to pay attention, typing out the information in short yet detailed notes. Several of the workers around the table present information to Nolan, and with each person,

I don’t want to make a fuss, so I continue digging.Pile after pile, and I still don’t find the document. I take out my list of documents I’d recorded, but again, I find no trace of the Armond file.“I’m sorry, but are you sure you brought it to me?”Supervisor Chanler scoffs at my question and shak
Finding a gift for someone you don’t truly know is difficult. I don’t want to choose something, and it turns out that she hates it. I’d be fired for sure.“Fiona.”I jump and spin around to find Nolan standing behind me.“Y-yes? I was just…” I glance at my computer screen and cringe. I must look lik
Fiona POVKnocking on Nolan’s office door, I wait for him to call me in before pushing the door open and entering. He sits at his desk, stiff and concentrated on the papers in front of him until I stop in front of his desk.“I need you to prepare a birthday gift for Chloe,” he says curtly. His daugh
“I’m fine on my own. You can stay with your friend,” I tell him, moving away from his touch. “I can get home on my own.”Then, before either of them can protest, I book it out of there.Nolan POVI watch as Fiona walks away from me, but really, she practically runs away.Carl hums and elbows me, “Sh
Fiona POVNolan’s face freezes then he growls in frustration, “You no longer need to be obsessed with Andy. He is married and mated to my daughter now, and all you must do is stay away from him. He is no longer your boyfriend or your concern.”The sharp tone makes me sigh. I was wrong to think that
Fiona POVThe words send my world crashing down around me.The hazy drunkenness cracks and shatters, washing over me like a cold shower. He knows about Andy. Nolan, the King and my boss, knows about the horrible mistake of a relationship with his son-in-law.My heart nearly stop as I stare up at him
Being married to the Princess shouldn’t give him a free pass. So, after confirming Billy’s status as a detective, I pull my phone out.The bar music grows louder, and I lean closer to Billy to ask, “Can we exchange numbers? I want to be able to contact you if I find anything at the company and vice
Fiona POVI laugh and take a sip of my drink. Why would Nolan be here? He’s probably still at the office, working late like usual. Not that he would be out drinking. I’m pretty sure it was a fluke that he was out the night we met.As I finish off my glass of wine, a man dressed in a maroon suit and
