Lenny Primrose has lived her entire life as her rich father's puppet. Now, at twenty-three, she's no longer interested in playing his games. Unfortunately, the only way to avoid being married off to one of her father's business partners is to involve the man he fears most: the British assassin who almost killed him.
Jonas Wolfe would be content to never be in the same room as a Primrose ever again. His days are filled with contracted murder and running his pub anything to keep from sitting around thinking about his one failed mission.
But when Lenny commits a rash crime, Jonas steps in to help, and extracting himself from her family becomes impossible.
You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don't want to see the rotten teeth.
In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter what the price.
I was a big girl, I could ignore them. Then came the secret society hazing. Kidnappings. Crazy parties. Insane stunts. Mindblowing prizes. Even so, I could handle myself... until the secret and stolen moments with men I had no business falling for. It was enough to give a girl a nightmares.
Reese Annesley was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant leaving a message for her best friend to save her from her awful date, when a gorgeous stranger overhears and offers her some dating advice. She proceeds to tell him to mind his own damn business his own tall, handsome, full-of-himself damn business and goes back to her miserable date, though she can't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he catches her―and winks.
When Chase Parker and his equally hot date suddenly appear at Reese's table, she's sure he's going to rat her out. But instead, he pretends he and Reese are old friends and joins them, telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about their fake childhood. And her date suddenly goes from boring to bizarrely exciting.
