Cuando mi exprometido tuvo las narices de invitarme a su boda, mi primera reacción fue contestarle: «Va a ser que no». Pero entonces mi mejor amigo, Kadon Kingcaid, me propuso una idea mejor: que él me acompañara como mi nuevo novio, más rico y más guapo. De locos, ¿verdad? He sido modelo de pasarela, nunca actriz. Aun así, solo eran tres días. Podía fingir estar enamorada durante un fin de semana si con ello podía cobrarme mi ansiada venganza.

Conocí a mi alma gemela cuando yo tenía ocho años y él, seis. Cuando cumplí doce me pidió que me casara con él. Cuando celebré mi decimosexto cumpleaños me regaló un anillo hecho con margaritas. Al marcharme a la universidad, a los dieciocho, lloró. Y a los veinticuatro me rompió el corazón. Lo destrozó en mil pedazos. Sin embargo, este no es el final de la historia. Una década después nos hemos visto obligados a reencontrarnos, y mi futuro vuelve a estar en sus manos. Solo que esta vez tengo más años y más experiencia. Finge ser inocente, pero yo sé la verdad.

Hace seis meses escapé de un monstruo en plena noche con mi hija de cinco años dormida entre mis brazos. Desesperada y casi sin dinero, mi suerte cambió al fin cuando conseguí un trabajo de camarera en una discoteca de moda de Los Ángeles.

La novia está impresionante. El novio, de infarto. Una lástima que el padrino sea un imbécil de campeonato. Cuando mi mejor amiga me pide que sea su dama de honor, me siento halagada, claro. Pero solo hasta que me presenta al padrino y me doy cuenta de que ya nos conocemos, justo de esa mañana, cuando… espera… le tiré por accidente un vaso de zumo de naranja encima de su perfecto traje a medida.

Tras otra entrevista de trabajo desastrosa, me meto en un bar y pido un buen gin-tonic para ahogar mis penas. Lo que ocurre a continuación es que acabo ahogándome en el hombre fascinante y cautivador que hay sentado a mi lado en la barra. Nuestras indirectas son eléctricas, la química es innegable, y algo parece encajar desde el principio. Cuando me despierto sola en su lujoso ático con vistas a la bahía de Seattle y me encuentro una nota en la que me desea un buen viaje de vuelta a Chicago, su mensaje me queda claro como el agua: no va a haber una segunda vez.

He’ll soon learn I’m not like the others he’s manipulated to bend to his will. Those bully tactics won’t work on me. He has nothing of worth to offer. Until tragedy strikes and, like a vulture, he swoops in and rips apart my life.

Not my finest hour, but he didn’t have to be a dick about it, either. And now—God help me—I’m forced to spend five days on a paradise island with a guy who’s the complete opposite of me.

Only someone with my kind of luck could arrive at an interview for a job I desperately need and then discover my potential new boss is the guy I drunk-kissed the other night. An unsolicited—and unwanted—kiss if the way he recoiled is any indication. I don’t expect him to offer me the job as a nanny to his seven-year-old daughter. I mean, who wants a drunken harlot taking care of something so precious?

When I wake up the next morning in a stunning penthouse overlooking the Seattle waterfront to a note saying, “have a safe flight back to Chicago,” his message is loud and clear: One and done. Famous last words. Guess who’s waiting to greet me on the first day at my new job? It turns out the mega-rich Asher Kingcaid is far from one and done.
