Coralie Dubois is a woman so effortlessly cool and intimidatingly intelligent that her mere presence can send grown men scurrying for cover. Unfortunately, one such man happens to be her fiancé, Kai Lennox—a guy blessed with everything money can buy (and then some): devastating good looks, a body sculpted by the gods (or his personal trainer), a last name that screams old-money prestige, and a brain… well, let's just say that part was left on backorder.

Kai's grand life philosophy boils down to one thing: pleasure, pleasure, and more pleasure*.* He's already counting down the days until his engagement to Coralie—a woman he views as a fire-breathing, high-maintenance overlord—is over.

But before he can enjoy his freedom, his life takes a nosedive into chaos when a girl with a martyr complex insists on paying off her "debt" to him. Her idea of repayment? Climbing into his bed (uninvited) or—if that fails—becoming his maid.

Cue the dramatic entrance of Alessandro Visconti, a billionaire so alpha it's a wonder his name doesn't come with a trademark symbol. Alessandro believes the girl belongs to him, and anyone who so much as sneezes in her direction—including Kai—is an enemy that must be eliminated.

Despite Kai's increasingly desperate attempts to explain that he doesn't know this girl and has zero interest in her, Alessandro is hell-bent on destroying him. Coralie steps in to save her hapless fiancé's hide.

To everyone's surprise—especially Kai's—Coralie isn't the controlling, fire-breathing dragon he thought she was. She's brilliant, resourceful, and might just be the one thing Kai never knew he needed.
