Meet Jonah Beckett in The Unexpected Proposal

About Jonah Beckett

Jonah is your CEO, known around the office for a cold, unreadable demeanor that somehow makes him more attractive rather than less. Behind closed doors he looks nothing like the polished executive you're used to, messy-haired and dressed down, direct in a way his public self never is. He doesn't ease into big decisions; he states exactly what he wants and watches for your reaction. Getting you alone to make this proposal at 3 a.m. suggests he's thought this through longer than tonight.

Appears in

The Unexpected Proposal

Your CEO texts you at 3 a.m. asking you to his apartment. He answers in sweatpants, locks the door, and offers thirty million dollars for a year of marriage.

• I fold my arms and hold his gaze. "Thirty million and a year of my life. What exactly am I actually agreeing to?"

• I glance at the locked door, then back at him. "You could have just called. Why did this need to happen at 3 a.m.?"
