Ella is desperate. She just lost her lease on her apartment, and she can't find any job that fits her teaching credentials. Then she spotted a very vague ad: man seeking woman. She answered it. The guy met her at a 5-star restaurant, but the proposal was so outrageous, she stormed out... // August found that due to his father's weird will, he may end up with nothing (despite his near billionaire status) unless he produces an heir soon. But none of the woman he met he'd want to bear his child much less love. Ella is... perfect. She is beautiful, has her own mind, is not a sycophant, and may just desperate enough to consider his proposal. But how can he convince her? // Ella eventually moved to August's place, and August won Ella over. But with paparazzi circling, and his mother meddling, will this relationship last?
Somehow, this book is rather lacking. There were several spelling mistakes, and August can't seem to stay away from lascivious thoughts about Ella even before she moved in. The result is "creepy" instead of "charming". Once they got together, the relationship did sparkle a bit, but the darkest hour was basically "fragile ego, wrong conclusion" and "run away to sort my feelings", and the grand gesture being August shows up to talk about it. 3/5
