Jessica Scott, a 25-year-old Ph.D. student, thought her life had taken a promising turn when she accepted the offer to work for Max McGuire, the enigmatic CEO of McGuire Steel Corporation. Facing eviction and unemployment, she was swept into a world she didn’t expect, captivated by Max’s piercing gaze and unsettling questions during their interview.
Her dream job as a surrogate for a billionaire CEO quickly spiraled into a nightmare when she discovered a shocking secret hidden in his closet. Entangled in a web of lies, she found herself asking one burning question: Could she trust the man who expected her to carry his heir?
Exhausted and desperate, she missed the fine print in her job description and unknowingly stepped into a far more intimate role than she had imagined. She wasn’t hired as Max’s administrative assistant—she was hired as his surrogate. And to complicate matters further, she was still a virgin.
Her new reality became even more perplexing during a tour of Max’s opulent home, where she stumbled upon a closet filled with designer women’s clothing, shoes, and accessories. The discovery left her questioning everything. Was there another woman in Max’s life? Or was there something about him she couldn’t yet understand? All she got in response was his cryptic smile and the unsettling words, “You’ve discovered my little secret.”
Caught in a whirlwind of deception and attraction, Jessica’s world began to unravel. Every step forward revealed another surprise, and with each encounter, the tension between her and Max only grew stronger. Nothing was as it seemed, and the closer she got to uncovering the truth, the deeper she fell into his irresistible pull.
