Rich. Sexy. Beautiful. Robin Lear is all that—and her jet-
set life is golden. Until the day her indestructible father
sends her tumbling off her pedestal with the startling news
that he is dying. Then he further shatters her illusions by
demoting her from the cushy job in the family business to
teach her "about life." In an instant her whole world
unravels, and Robin is suddenly swimming in uncharted
waters, including a bogus night in jail, a new job as the
lackey of her toady ex-boyfriend, and a major distraction
in the form of one very sexy contractor who's renovating
her house.
Jake Manning has had some tough knocks in life. Now all he
wants is to make enough money to finish his degree and,
maybe, get a nice house with a nice wife and a nice kid.
But this Prada-clad ice princess is turning his life upside
down with her sassy—and disastrous—ways. Jake's head tells
him to run, don't walk, from this gorgeous train wreck of a
woman. A man would have to be crazy to pursue someone like
Robin Lear. But Jake is crazy—about her....
