I hated Nick with all my might, but I had loved him with the same passion, too. His dominion, his lies, his deception. I needed time to heal with love and hate battling for supremacy...and I could only have one of them in my heart.

Five days is all it took me to change the trajectory of my life and move back home to New York City. With cautious optimism and a hopeful countenance I, Ivy McAlister came here to be with the man of my dreams, Nicholas Branson. Did I make a hasty decision? Maybe I did...with Nick behaving erratically and bordering on the bizarre. Sadly, my perfect world with Nick has started to unravel with the realization that everything was not as rosy as I had imagined it to be. As the lines between dreams and reality blurred, I was left to navigate the labyrinth of deception and truth to ascertain if Nick, the billionaire CEO and the most eligible bachelor in Manhattan, and the one I thought was my one true love, is indeed the one that I can truly find happiness with.
