About this ebook
For the past five years, Stella has been living the kind of life most people only see in perfume ads: champagne-soaked parties, opulent hotels, lazy afternoons on yachts, and Monaco bachelors more than happy to fund the fantasy.
But Stella isn’t just floating through luxury. She has a plan.
With sharp wit, dazzling charm, and a talent for making rich men believe exactly what they want to believe, Stella has been carefully building her escape route: one final score, one villa of her own, and a future where she never has to depend on anyone again.
She is so close she can practically taste the rosé.
Then he arrives.
A mysterious, insufferably arrogant, infuriatingly handsome Frenchman sees right through Stella’s glittering act. Worse, he’s not interested in exposing her.
He wants in.
Stella has no intention of sharing her carefully crafted scheme with a man who smiles like trouble and asks far too many questions. But as their worlds collide in a battle of secrets, schemes, and dangerously inconvenient chemistry, Stella starts to realize the man threatening to ruin her plan might be the only person who truly understands it.
And maybe the dream life she’s been chasing isn’t the one she actually wants.
Escape to Monaco and the French Riviera in this witty, glamorous romantic comedy about reinvention, rivalry, and falling for the one person who sees behind the sparkle.
