Jackson Aldridge has been deemed the second most eligible bachelor in Seattle, Washington three years running. He's an intelligent, handsome billionaire at the top of his game who lives by a strict set of rules. But when a high-risk investment goes South, Jackson will need to re-evaluate his lifestyle and his rules to prevent his glass house from shattering into a million pieces.
Rule No. 1: Business always before pleasure
Rule No. 2: Time is money
Rule No. 3: No long-term relationships because they're time consuming and emotionally draining.
Rule No. 4: Never fall in love because love hurts, and
Rule No. 5: Never, ever get married because divorce is inevitable
Eve Scott owns Pick of the Litter until the bank unexpectedly sends her an eviction notice. She needs to either come up with the next balloon payment in thirty days or she's out on the streets. In dire straits, Eve asks for help from the one person she's avoided for years--Jackson Aldridge--a womanizing, emotionally bankrupt, commitment phobe, who just happens to be her best friend's scandalous brother.
Jackson needs to recoup his losses before their company goes belly up. Eve needs to keep Pick of the Litter afloat or lose her life's work. They say opposites attract, but can these two find enough common ground to prevent life as they know it from imploding before their very eyes?
Two lives in upheaval, one fake marriage, and a set of rules meant to be broken. What could go wrong?
