Sloane and Xavier break up, and Sloane is finally able to cry after not being able to her whole life. She runs into her ex step mother at a restaurant and she tells her that her younger sister refuses to eat until she sees Sloane. Sloane then meets up with Xavier at the Empire State building where they reconcile and become an official couple.

Sloane meets up with her ex fiancé who is now married to her pregnant sister, and he tries and fails to get back together with Sloane. Sloane records their conversation and shows it to her sister when she comes storming into her office accusing her of trying to get with her husband. Afterwards, Sloane, exhausted, goes back to her apartment where she finds her pet fish dead. Xavier stays a few days withhertocomfort.

Xavier and Sloane take their relationship to the next level and start officially dating. Sloane runs into her estranged family members at the hospital and they discover that she has been keeping contact with her half sister, Pen, over the years. We find out that Sloane’s other sister is married to her ex fiancé and that is the reason for her estrangement from her family.

Xavier’s father has just recently passed, and Sloane comes to a shocking realization. His father put her in his will to be apart of a committee that decides whether or not he comes into his inheritance. The terms he must follow are becoming CEO of a company before he turns thirty, which is in six months. Xavier decides to start a night club and he has only six months to network, find a location, and start things.

I love this book so far. It’s about a publicist, Sloane, and her lazy, unmotivated, but filthy rich heir to the family empire, client Xavier. They make a compromise that if Sloane takes off work for just a week and enjoys and relaxing vacation with Xavier, then he will hold off on drawing any attention to himself and causing bad publicity.
