The only thing any woman had ever wanted from me was the Montgomery name and all the billions of dollars and luxuries that came with it.

What happens when you're instantly drawn and inexplicably attracted to a man you haven't really met? Me? Well, I left a party like my butt was on fire when it happened to me. Arrogant, wealthy, and physically perfect men were nothing but trouble, even if I was mesmerized by a man with all of those attributes. Unfortunately, we met again - in person this time - when I literally collided with Carter Lawson in the flesh several days later and discovered he was a man I just couldn't stay away from, no matter how much I tried.

I lived to party...or I did until I realized what I really wanted to do with my life.

I've known Chase Durand since childhood. He's drop-dead gorgeous, sophisticated, ridiculously wealthy, and wildly intelligent.
