In a moment of madness he introduces Lily as his fiance hoping it will send his ex running. Little does he know she has sinister plans for him.

Working for her best friend is the best decision she has ever made. Not only does she get to do what she loves, create art. She also gets to work with other strong women. When her martial arts teacher, the man she has been secretly drooling over for months, needs help she isn’t about to say no.
