Nicole Barnes receives her fifth divorce notice during her third year of marriage to Jacob Blake. She'd fallen for him at first sight upon returning to the country. Now, her love for him has finally run out. She's held herself back and endured the mockery of his family for the past three years—it ultimately turns out to be a joke.
Everyone thinks this story is an example of a failed Cinderella story, but there's a twist…
Nicole drops her act and turns into the queen of the world—she comes from old money and is the daughter of a noble family that owns countless conglomerates around the world.
She thinks this is the end of her involvement with Jacob, but an accidental one-night stand entangles them again.
Nicole flees the room when the clock chimes at midnight. Unbeknownst to her, Jacob has proof of her being there with him.
She tries to sever ties with him. "Didn't we agree we wouldn't see each other anymore upon parting?"
Jacob raises an eyebrow. "Didn't we agree that you would cut down on soap operas, honey?"
