Coralie Dubois is a woman so effortlessly cool and intimidatingly intelligent that her mere presence can send grown men scurrying for cover. Unfortunately, one such man happens to be her fiancé, Kai Lennox-a guy blessed with everything money can buy (and then some): devastating good looks, a body sculpted by the gods (or his personal trainer), a last name that screams old-money prestige, and a brain.
well, let's just say that part was left on backorder. Kai's grand life philosophy boils down to one thing: pleasure, pleasure, and more pleasure. He's already counting down the days until his engagement to Coralie-a woman he views as a fire-breathing, high-maintenance overlord-is over. But before he can enjoy his freedom, his life takes a nosedive into chaos when a girl with a martyr complex insists on paying off her "debt" to him.
Her idea of repayment? Climbing into his bed (uninvited) or-if that fails-becoming his maid. Cue the dramatic entrance of Alessandro Visconti, a billionaire so alpha it's a wonder his name doesn't come with a trademark symbol. Alessandro believes the girl belongs to him, and anyone who so much as sneezes in her direction-including Kai-is an enemy that must be eliminated. Despite Kai's increasingly desperate attempts to explain that he doesn't know this girl and has zero interest in her, Alessandro is hell-bent on destroying him.
Coralie steps in to save her hapless fiancé's hide. To everyone's surprise-especially Kai's-Coralie isn't the controlling, fire-breathing dragon he thought she was. She's brilliant, resourceful, and might just be the one thing Kai never knew he needed.
