Francesca It all began with a sex addict, a swinger’s party, and a smug American! Actually, it began when I slipped into bed with a man who wasn’t my fiancé; a sexual pro with enough charm to break down my resistance. However, I am a Farrington, an heiress to the family business, but only when I marry my fiancée. Gabriel Harrison was supposed to be a distraction during a mutually agreed reprieve from my engagement. So, imagine my surprise when I find myself looking into his eyes at a swinger’s party. Could fate be pushing me against the life I always believed to be my destiny? Gabe People see me as the protector; the loyal best friend; the man who fought for his country. But to Francesca Farrington, I was merely an irritant to taint her perfect holiday. The girl was both nuts and rude. But she possessed something inexplicable, something I couldn’t ignore. After one hot night between the sheets, she left, and I moved on. Or so I thought. A year later, she’s standing in my house with a bowl of keys. My demons have kept me guarded, but could fate be telling me to take a chance on this beautiful enigma?
