Briggs Goswick is many things: - a society darling (annoying) - undeniably attractive (unfair) - heir to an elite family (helpful) - and, after humiliating her at a ball, Blythe Rowley's archnemesis Nearly five years after this 'incident', Briggs' sudden reappearance takes Blythe's summer from bad to . . .

complicated. Because Briggs has a secret: he's flat broke. With the weight of saving her own family's name and finances solely on her shoulders, that is something she and Briggs have in common.

But Blythe has a plan to save them both. Briggs' society connections can help Blythe win over investors for her new business venture. In exchange, she promises to help Briggs charm an aloof heiress with deep pockets.

It's a win-win situation . . .

. . .

or is it?
