I really, really… really want to take the deal. I’ve spent more money on things so ridiculous I’m embarrassed to admit them.” “I sense there’s a ‘but’ coming.” “But… there’s no amount of money that will keep you from falling in love with me.” Amara Riley works for her crush and personal hero, Grayson Davis, a 30's Zuckerberg type CEO of an internet startup called Webster, the story world's equivalent of Facebook.

When she discovers that she has, but not for the purposes of happily ever after, she decides to strike a deal with him: one million for the privilege of being his mistress.
