The Devil's Secretary
“Five years working with the Devil was hell on earth. After five years and six months, Lia has finally saved enough money to resign as the devil's secretary and pursue her own dream as a baker. But when the gorgeous billionaire boss wouldn't let her go, Lia didn't know what to do. Had he liked her work ethics so much, he couldn't let her out? But then, Troy Sanford offered her what probably was an entirely different course she never thought she could take. "Marry me, Lia. Marry me so I can get this business deal." Lia couldn't help but roll her eyes. Of course, the proposal wasn't for a real marriage. It was still basically a business proposal. But was it, really?”
