Astrid speaks nine languages, but she swore to her billionaire boss that she only knows English. Konrad Brandt, the coldest CEO in Seattle, reads lies the way he reads contracts, and when he leans in close and whispers in German that he wants her, she has to keep her face still and pretend the words mean nothing. Then a billion-dollar fraud surfaces in three languages only she can decode, and the secret she has hidden her whole life becomes the one thing that can save him. Now that he knows what she really is, he will never be able to look away again, but will the truth bind them together or burn everything down?
