After years of defying her family's expectations with a whirlwind of parties and rebellion, Elissa Black is forced to take her place within her family's business empire. But returning means more than just assuming a role in the company - it means falling into a trap laid by her manipulative father, a trap woven with secrets and deceit. Enter Brandt Collins, the self-made billionaire and prospective business partner with an agenda of his own. His investment in Black & Wells Publishing and Press comes with a non-negotiable condition: a marriage to Elissa. For Brandt, this alliance is more than a business maneuver, but he treads a path fraught with danger. If Elissa discovers the truth behind the deal, he risks losing everything. 'A Bright Summer: A Contemporary Office Billionaire Romance' is a scorching hot beginning to Kate Smoak's Seasons Series. Can Brandt capture Elissa's heart against all odds, and before she finds out about his deal with her father? Or will their fiery passion burn to into mere ashes?
