Everyone thought being a Titan meant something. Well, Skye has her inheritance from her mom but Izzy and I are just like everyone else. Living from paycheck to paycheck. Jed holds all the family money and he wants each of us to prove ourselves before we get a piece of the family business. My grand plan to prove I could make it on my own. Dana tapped the badge on her left breast pocket. The waitress appeared. They ordered burgers and fries, along with Diet Coke, because balance was important. I know better.
She knows I loathe that kind of stuff. Maybe someone will drop a really expensive diamond necklace and I can pawn it. Look at the bright side. There will be a bunch of boring rich guys there. Maybe you can talk one of them into giving you a loan. Lexi brightened. You can mock everyone. You enjoy that.
You find these sweet, unassuming men who adore you and are terrified in equal measures. You need to find someone who will be more of a challenge. Lexi dropped her head to the table. She hordes it for disadvantaged children. You know Skye. At the very least, there will be good food tonight. You can bury your sorrows in appetizers with funny names. In the meantime I need to find a man I can push around. Or a miracle. Cruz Rodriguez had never believed that cars and women had much in common.
He loved cars—they were his life. And even brand new, they never smelled as good as a beautiful woman about to surrender. He climbed out of his silver Bugatti Veyron and tossed the keys to the valet.
The kid stood there, staring at his car. Cruz grinned, then moved toward the massive house. Even from this distance he recognized her long blond hair piled on her head, the delicately classic features of her perfect face. She laughed at something the woman said. The sound carried to him on the warm night air.
It was a sound he remembered from a long time ago, just as he remembered everything about her. But he also knew other things. That she hated her real name, and saying it would make her eyes narrow and her hackles rise. She was old money and breeding. There were still plenty of social doors that were closed to him. Which was why he was here. He was ready to get those doors open And whether she knew it or not, Lexi was going to help him.
He took the half dozen or so marble stairs up to the front of the house, careful to keep several people between Lexi and himself.
He would determine when and where they met. He would have the advantage. No woman forgot her first time. Once inside the house, he took a moment to admire the architecture of the structure. Twin staircases curved up to a second story landing the size of an airport runway. The entry glittered with light that reflected on the black and white tiles.
A grand piano hugged one of the curved walls because what was an entryway without a grand piano? Now he walked into an elegant room mostly done in gold and sage green, with touches of red.
The center parlor had been set up with rows of armless chairs for the auction that was to follow the cocktail hour.
To find a way in to their high-class society. A charity auction would allow him to announce his presence with subtlety and class. If he spent money here, he would be invited to other charity events. His name would be known. Over time, he would be accepted.

Marry Cruz Rodriguez or lose everything - the successful day spa she built herself, her tyrant of a father's respect. And the long-standing competition with her sisters for the family business. It was a fun, relaxing summer read. I first became acquainted with Susan Mallery through her "Buchanan" series and fell in love with her work.
However, I have been disappointed with each series since. I was hoping that this new series would capture some of the magical mixture of humor and romance that I originally found in her work, but instead I found this cast of characters to be shallow and not very funny at all.
I hope the next book is better, but at this point I've learned not to expect much better than a series of mediocre characters fumbling through a lackluster romance. Oh, and the narrator was awful! Listen free for 30 days. Add to Cart failed.
