My story in this collection is called

Here's the blurb:When Alma Keats responds to a mysterious advertisement promising a rent-free apartment and a considerable amount of money in return for her companionship, she thinks she might change her circumstances.
Sick of her father making sacrifices for the well-being of his children, she realizes this opportunity could be the answer.
There's just a couple of catches. She can't leave the sky-rise Bronx apartment or have any contact with the outside world. And her companion, wealthy businessman Jack Valemont? She's forbidden to look at him until the one-year contract is up. If she can survive the isolation and the temptation to see her companion's true face, she'll walk away with two million dollars and a new life for her family.
