Zane Phillips mistook me for his dog walker. It shouldn鈥檛 surprise me that the man with a suit more expensive than my rent would assume that I was there to serve him. The positive? I put him in his place. The negative? I missed my job interview because of it. Now I find out he鈥檚 a rich Australian entrepreneur, and he wants to make up for tanking my interview. Yes, he鈥檚 impossibly hot - but he鈥檚 also an arrogant jackass - so...no thanks. But after a little white lie I tell spirals out of control, I鈥檓 somehow offered the chance to play Zane鈥檚 girlfriend to help promote his new dating website....

I'm not interested in starting something deep and meaningful, but what I am interested in is the way your body reacts to mine when we're in the same room.

I was a small-town girl with big city dreams and more ambition than money to my name. He had everything鈥攎oney, privilege, and the world at his feet. Opposites in every way, but that didn鈥檛 matter. We were lightning in a bottle, and everything felt possible when we were together. Life was perfect.

I should have known I was in trouble when I backed my old, beat-up truck into the shiny Range Rover. The driver looked like a gorgeous fallen angel鈥搊ne who鈥檇 been booted right out of paradise for being a giant prick. Good thing I鈥檒l never have to see him again.

As a divorced single father, I live by three rules: Make sure every day my daughter, Paisley, knows she鈥檚 number one in my life. No matter what, keep contact with my cheating ex-wife to a minimum, and turn Maxwell Wineries into a legacy that keeps Paisley set for life. When I hire Lexi to look after my daughter, I realize I need another rule: Don鈥檛 pursue Paisley鈥檚 nanny. But even if I had that rule it wouldn鈥檛 matter. Because I'm breaking it already.

Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn鈥檛 peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night.

In a city with eight-million people, I figured I鈥檇 never see Devyn again.

But being with her was unfeasible in high school, and it's taboo now. I see her sometimes, but I've never spoken to her. She runs, or I run. We're in the same town, on the same block, in the same building, and the gulf between us has been just too wide to cross. Until tonight.
