The Boyfriend I Wanted Her to Steal

Nora's stepsister Claire has spent years taking what belongs to her, and once they grew up that included her boyfriends. Claire always claims she is only testing the men for Nora's sake, yet each test ends with her in their bed, and their stepmother's household and Nora's coworkers side with Claire. When Nora gets engaged to Adrian, a rising star in finance, Claire waves a photo of herself kissing him and calls him a dog at her side.

Nora's calm answer unsettles the office, and the arrival of Ethan, heir to the Hartwell Group, with roses in hand turns every head. Claire, who once had a blind date with Ethan that ended before his coffee was finished, cannot accept that he is the man waiting for Nora downstairs. At the club, a stray golf ball grazes Ethan's arm and Claire hurries over with apologies and a request for his contact information, but he refuses to add a woman he does not know and leads Nora away.

Claire has never met a man who would not look twice at her, and Nora means to keep it that way.
