He’s the most feared man on Wall Street…but I have a more personal reason for loathing Hugo Jones, my older brother’s nerdy-hot best friend.

Once upon a time, I had a crush on him. Multiple crushes, in fact.

And every time my younger, more foolish younger self let those feelings take hold, her innocent heart would be crushed.

So when I move to New York City and the job I was supposed to have evaporates, and I wind up working at Hugo’s company against my will? I refuse to fall for him again.

But I won’t fear him, either.

I’m going to face the beast head-on.

And if Hugo Jones has supposedly impenetrable secrets that explain why he sometimes can’t stop looking at me, I’m going to find out what they are, once and for all.

I’m going to get to the bottom of why he seems to be the president of the Stella Woodward Haters Club.
