Natalie, an assistant chef at Giancarlo, leads a simple life filled with hard work and the occasional complaint about her boss, Mariah. But her world is turned upside down when Rebecca Martinez, the chairwoman of the Martinez empire, walks into the restaurant and makes a shocking announcement in front of the entire staff. She wants Natalie to marry her son, Brandon Martinez, the heartthrob of Seattle, Washington.
Brandon, a 6ft tall, Greek god-like figure who controls a billion-dollar empire, is rumored to have a different model or actress on his arm every week. To Natalie, he seems completely out of her league, and they've never even met before. She's understandably hesitant and asks for time to think, but the chairwoman gives her just a day.
As Natalie confides in her best friend Hailey, we learn about how she first met Rebecca by chance. After finding the ill chairwoman outside the restaurant one night and helping her get to the hospital, Natalie felt a connection to her. Little did she know who Rebecca really was.
The next day, Natalie decides to accompany Rebecca to the Martinez mansion. There, she finally meets Brandon, and it's a disastrous encounter. Brandon openly shows his contempt for Natalie, calling her an "underdressed, ugly swan" and storming out. Heartbroken and humiliated, Natalie decides to turn down the offer of marriage, longing for her simple life again.
However, just when Natalie thinks it's all over, Brandon makes a sudden and astonishing reappearance at Giancarlo. The restaurant goes silent as all eyes turn to him. Instead of the expected public humiliation or getting Natalie fired, he does the unthinkable. He walks up to her, grabs her shoulders, and plants a passionate kiss on her lips. Natalie is shocked but finds herself responding, only to be left even more bewildered when Brandon tells her she has the rest of the day off and suggests they go home.
With this unexpected turn of events, readers will be left wondering: What made Brandon change his mind? Is there more to his feelings than meets the eye? Will Natalie be able to forgive his earlier harsh words and embrace this new, mysterious side of him? And what about the power dynamics within the Martinez empire and the nosy staff at Giancarlo?
