Olivier

By: Brenda Rothert

Narrated by: Erik Bloomquist, Madeleine Dauer

Daphne: Despite growing up among the privileged elite, I never cared about corporate ladders or dream weddings. I proudly wear the label of social justice warrior. Until a car accident changes everything. A video goes viral: Chicago's Hottest Bachelor, billionaire Olivier Durand pulling me from my burning car. When he sets his sights on me, the whole world is watching. He can chase after me all he wants, but my answer will be the same: I loathe the ultra-wealthy. Even when they're handsome, persuasive and . . . I have to admit, charming. It's a hell no from me, though. Until suddenly, I'm not sure I'm the woman I thought I was.

Olivier: Once the video of me pulling a woman from her burning car goes viral, privacy becomes a thing of the past. For whatever reason, Twitter has decided this woman and I should become romantic. A hashtag combining my name with hers is trending. Absolute nonsense. But then I meet her, and realize Twitter got it right. Daphne Barrington is beautiful, funny, brilliant, and sweet. Now I just have to convince her to date me. Easier said than done. She's maddeningly stubborn, and my deep desire to be with her soon has me writing massive checks. Not for jewelry or cars, but to charities. Winning Daphne's heart is going to cost me, and I'm not sure even I have enough money to do it.

Contains mature themes.
