I’m richer than the richest, and my voice has the power to override laws. But to get here, I had to push her out of my life. Now she’s back—and she needs my help. Ella Whitt. My college fling, my fiery adventure from the past, the ex who turned into nothing but a piercing regret. Until she resurfaces when I least expect it. She’s still just as brazen, bewitching and excruciatingly irresistible. The same addictive flame that charred me all those years ago. One look and I’m smitten all over again—but she’s in trouble, and I’m the only one who can help her. As a friend, of course, for old times’ sake. Nothing more. Ella can never know about my voracious need for her, because I forbid myself to act on it. And she can never know about the pact I made with my college friends—a pact to find a wife and secure my wealth in my name. Because it definitely won’t be her.
