Adam Greene-- the one who got away. We cared about each other as teenagers, but I put those feelings aside years ago. Our history needs to stay there, locked away forever. Until the night the past collides with the present. One look, and Adam won't let me forget the way I used to feel. But the timing is awful. My life is in shambles. I don't recognize it. For a long time, I lived the good life in Palm Beach. I spent my time attending parties, raising money for charity, taking front-row seats at fashion shows, and vacationing in the world's most glamorous places. All I needed was the perfect husband. Then I discovered my father's awful secret. Now I'm paying for his sins. Everything I cared about doesn't matter anymore. I have to survive. That means doing business with some of South Florida's most ruthless criminals. They want me, and they want leverage. I've made a deal with the devil, and I'll never get out of this hell. Will Adam turn his back on me once he knows the horrible truth?

When it comes to making money, I'm better at it than most. I own some of New York City's best real estate, and I'm on my way to becoming one of the world's youngest billionaires. People say I have it all--and the women to match. But I don't have Ainsley Ross. She's from one of the country's wealthiest families, and she lives the good life in Palm Beach, FL. I've known her for years, but she has never liked me. In fact, her father spent decades competing against mine. Ainsley doesn't know what I know, though--that her family is almost bankrupt, and the fortune is gone. Without me, she and her brother will lose everything they have ever cared about. I'm going to offer them a deal they can't refuse. She's about to be my greatest acquisition. There's only one thing I have to remember: I can't fall in love.

I'm the heir to one of the biggest fortunes in the world. My grandfather is a billionaire, and one day I will be, too. I have it all--money, women, a guaranteed job, and access to all the pleasures in life. But something's missing. The women I date mean nothing to me, and I'm tired of people who want to be around me only for my connections. It's boring, empty, and stale. Then one night, I see her again--Samantha Green. She's the only person who has ever loved me for myself. The only person who ever cared about me, and not my money. And ten years ago, she disappeared. Vanished. Left me with only questions, and a broken heart. Now, we have a second chance. The trouble is, starting a relationship with her again means confronting a family secret so big, it could destroy everything my grandfather has worked for in life. It means dealing with an ugly past, and even I don't know how deep it goes. But isn't love worth the pain?
