The Bet

He thinks he's god's gift to women. She thinks he's a sex-mad jerk. For $10K he'll prove he can win her over.

Arrogant. Womanizing. Jerk.

Xavier Stone has been called many things, and he's proud of most of them. Driving a Ferrari 488, living in Tribeca, and running businesses that spit out $$$, he's living the dream. He can, and often does, have any woman he wants.

Except for Isabel Laronde.

That chick is something else.

And right now, she's not interested.

Failing to attract her attention, Xavier seeks to prove himself by placing a bet: $10K to win Isabel over and to get her into his bed.

Piece of cake.

Except that Isabel is mistrusting of the rich and privileged, and Xavier represents everything she hates in a man.

Finding him to be arrogant and self-obsessed, Izzy sees right through Xavier's flirtatious attempts--and there's no way in hell she's falling for any of them. Until, despite her best intentions, she does.

When her defenses crumble, her resistance falls to the wayside faster than her panties.

But Xavier Stone should have come with a warning.

She should have listened to her gut. She should have stayed away.

First impressions are rarely wrong and this man was trouble right from the start.
