Rebecca, the middle sister of the prominent Lear family, is pretty, privileged, and popular. She even married well. You’d never know it, but the former Miss Texas is a perfectly poised mess. Her marriage is a sham, her life is empty, her friends are shallow…and when her husband leaves her fro another woman, her self-esteem is shattered. But she moves to Austin to pick up the pieces, volunteering as a campaign strategist for a family friend…

Matt Parrish has a reputation for being a tough litigator-and a real heartbreaker. He’s just agreed to help an old frat brother with his statewide campaign…but he didn’t count on sharing the spotlight with a former beauty queen who just stepped out of a limo from another planet. He thinks she’s a socialite with no common sense. She thinks he’s an arrogant hot shot lawyer. Neither can deny there’s a fire burning between them. But where there’s fire, there’s smoke-and the smoke might just blind them to the trouble they’re about to step straight into…

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.

A man would have to be crazy to pursue someone like Robin Lear. But Jake is crazy—about her....
