Oliver Huxley has asked me out on a date every month for the last ten years. And every time, I've said no. Yes, he's a billionaire. Okay, he's heart-meltingly gorgeous. And it's true he has a great reputation in the bedroom. Look, I have my reasons. He's already broken my heart once. And I know he wants me only because he can't have me. If I sleep with him, I'll just end up another notch on his bedpost. My heart won't survive a second break. Whoever said it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all clearly didn't know what he was talking about.

After the most intense and passionate night of my life, I do my Cinderella act and slip away. I'm disappointed to leave him behind but desperate to start over.

The one room available for rent in the city is damp, the size of a matchbox, and beneath a herd of elephants. And my no-strings-attached fling results in a complication I'm totally unprepared for. Convinced I've reached rock bottom, I begin a new temp job.
