For Kerry Donovan

I only thought I was excited to work on this bookand then I was lucky enough to work on it with you.

Chapter One

New York City

The Sunday after Thanksgiving

J ane Austen had it wrong, Sloan McKinley thought miserably as the black Lincoln Town Car drove her ever closer to the bright lights of the George Washington Bridge and the Manhattan streets she called home. A man in possession of a good fortune only wanted to get laid.

Of course, she thought reflectively, that made rich men really no different from the poor ones.

Despite the fact that dear old Jane was being cheeky in her pronouncements on the proclivities of wealthy young bachelors, Sloan knew her point was valid all the same.

What she didnt know was why her mother thought an endless parade of Scarsdales finest was going to be the answer to her daughters walk down the aisle.

Shed known these men since birthhad played Little League soccer with them, dissected frogs in science class as lab partners and attended the prom together. She knew who had been a bad loser, who had stuffed frog parts inside the principals tote bag and who had puked outside their limo after the prom.

Sadly, she knew these guys. None of them had developed any mind-blowing, irresistible qualities as they matured. Sloan hadnt wanted any of them at fifteen and not much had changed.

Case in point: one Trevor Stuart Kincaid the FourthTrent to all who knew and loved him. If the asshole stuck his hand on her knee and allowed his pinky finger to creep up her inner thigh one more time, she was likely to go all Terminator on his Armani-covered ass.

And to think she had actually been looking forward to seeing him.

Im glad your mother suggested this. Its a far more enjoyable drive back to the city with company.

Shes full of ideas. Sloan shifted yet again, firmly pushing his fingers away as his other hand inched closer on the backseat. So tell me about what youve been working on. That hotel you designed in Seattle is absolutely magnificent.

The Dahlia? His bloodshot eyes sparkled for a moment under the reflected lights of the streetlamps and a surge of hope filled her. Shed visited the hotel shortly after it had opened and had been impressed that it was designed by someone shed known since childhood.

It had been that sparkthat innate belief that who you were at fifteen didnt dictate who you were foreverthat shed been desperately searching for since Trent had arrived at her parents for dinner.

Its a sweet gig. Theyre paying me to design a sister hotel in Malaysia, so I cant complain. Speaking of sweet gigshe let the words hang there for a moment before leaning closerwhy havent we ever gone out, you and me?

Perhaps because Mitzi Goodby shared with our entire class at our fifteen-year reunion just how shitty you were in bed, how you enjoy the occasional cocaine bender and that you are a bad tipper. But Sloan said none of that and instead opted for, I think weve likely just been in different places in our lives.

It looks like were in the same place now.

Were probably not as close as you think.

We can easily fix that.

Sloan caught the drivers raised eyebrows in the rear-view mirror and shot him a glare. While she knew she wasnt in any dangerTrent was a world-class jerk with opportunistic hands, but that was about itshe also knew most people saw only what they wanted to see when they looked at her. Blond hair, all-American blue eyes and a slender five-foot-eight-inch frame had a way of doing that to a person.
