Story

The story

Hallie Shaw judges everyone by a rigid scorecard, and her husband Scott has never once reached ninety. He quit his dream job, earned seven certifications and learned four languages for her, yet his score stays stuck at eighty-nine, while Miles Allen needs only to stand there to be a perfect hundred.

On their anniversary, Hallie leaves Scott's home-cooked dinner to dine with Miles, then takes Miles to the company party in the suit Scott was told not to wear. There she hands Miles the International Business Division and Project Dawn, the work Scott spent two years building, and demands Scott sign away his voting rights. When Scott's medical report is ruined and his engraved pen is claimed by Miles, Hallie offers him a black card and the promise of eighty-nine points if he interprets for the man who replaced him.

Opening excerpt

Hallie Shaw lived her life judging everyone with a rigid scorecard.

When we were dating, she used to say that any person or event scoring below ninety points wasn't worth a second of her time.

After marriage, every single thing I did was evaluated.

On our wedding anniversary, I prepared a full spread of her favorite dishes.

These are the opening lines of chapter 1. Keep reading →
