Aurora is an ordinary planner at an advertising agency who has spent three years working her way up to project manager. She finally feels like her life is on track—until the company introduces its new creative director.
The conference-room door opens, and Aurora nearly drops her coffee.
It is Nathan Hale, the man who disappeared from her life on a rainy night five years ago. Back then, they were college sweethearts. Nathan came from a wealthy family; Aurora was a scholarship student with nothing but her own ambition. Right before graduation, his family arranged a marriage with a woman from their social circle. Nathan stood outside Aurora's apartment all night, then left at dawn with a check big enough to pay off all her student loans and a note: “We come from different worlds. Forget me.”
Aurora never cashed the check. She paid off the loans herself and climbed from intern to project manager one step at a time. Now the man who broke her heart is suddenly her boss.
