When tech billionaire Darric DeLuca, the enigmatic and devastatingly handsome CEO of DeLuca Innovations, announces a high-stakes Christmas challenge—he’ll marry the first woman to hack his company’s impenetrable security system—he expects a slew of failed attempts. What he doesn’t expect is Jaden Bell, a petite, curvy, and mischievous hacker with a talent for coding and a knack for causing chaos. Not only does she crack the system, but she wins the competition, declines the proposal, and disappears without a trace.

Now, with Christmas looming and his mother demanding he settle down, Darric is determined to find his “Cinderella Hacker.” As he tracks Jaden down, sparks fly and walls break as their worlds collide in a flurry of wit, passion, and undeniable chemistry. But Jaden’s not one to play by the rules, and she’s about to teach Darric that love—and life—can’t always be neatly coded.
