In the glittering world of New York's elite, can one woman's quest for love capture a tycoon's heart, or will lust for power and legacy separate them—forever?

Ava

When we met, I didn't exactly look my best. More like a drowned rat, covered in grime. I thought my prayers were answered when a gorgeous handyman walked into my family's boutique hotel. Not only did he fix the plumbing, but he intoxicated me. I was drawn to him like my hunkie romance magnet is drawn to my decades-old refrigerator.

But now I know who he really is—Luke Knightly, the infamous playboy resort mogul. His company loves to buy beautiful old properties and destroy them to build modern steel-and-glass monstrosities. He's not getting his greedy developer hands on my grandmother's inn even though his smiles make me melt.

Nope. No way. I will triple bar the doors to the sleazy billionaire.

Luke

I thought I'd get the dilapidated brownstone in Greenwich for a pittance. But instead of the old lady hotelier I expected to win over, Ava Hart turned out to be a spitfire, full of sass and stubbornness. Soaking wet in her dumpster-dive clothes, her graceful strength and refined curves tempted me instantly. By the time I'd fixed her broken pipe, I'd vowed to own her as well as the hotel.

But possessing Ava hasn't been a walk in the park. Unlike every other woman who's passed through my life, she doesn't care about my money or the things I can give her. Now I'm enraged and ready for war. I always get what I want.

Always.
