Romance
ABSTRACT
Olivia Grayson runs a billion-dollar company, and she has never once been loved for herself. Tired of men who want her money, she walks into a small studio as "just Olivia" and meets Theo, a nineteen-year-old painter who doesn't know who she is. He teases her, argues with her, and slowly wins her heart. She tells herself the age gap is a wall. He tells her it's only a number.
They share a first kiss in a rainstorm, a rooftop dinner under string lights, and a slow dance where he promises to go as slowly as she needs. But every sweet moment brings a problem. Strangers whisper about their ages. Olivia lies about who she is. Theo goes silent every time his phone rings.
Meanwhile, Damon Voss, a board member and her enemy, is closing in. His watchers photograph the couple and leave the prints on her doorstep. A driver from Theo's sister's household arrives at the studio with a warning. Theo's sister, Margaret, keeps saying she's fine, but her voice says otherwise.
Then one night, Olivia hears Margaret call him by a different name, and the lies begin to c***k. On the same morning her most important board vote takes place, Theo's fight with his family comes to a head. Neither can be there for the other. Both secrets break open at once, and the two people who fell in love without names are left with only the truth.
Some love survives the truth. Some pay a price no one is ready for.
