'Zoe is taking care of Genie, her late friend's daughter, after her husband died. One day, a strangely familiar man appears at the real estate agency where she works. His name is James Langford and he's the CEO of a world-famous company. Why did such a famous man come to her tiny real estate agency? She shows him a property and he invites her to dinner under the guise of wanting to ask more questions about the home. He's pushy and seems accustomed to getting what he wants from people. But during the dinner, he reveals the astonishing truth: "The girl you call Genie is actually my daughter."' (Publication summary)
