Standalone in the A Billionaire's Mistake series ****** Lincoln Nash, a twenty-eight-year-old billionaire, has the entire world at his fingertips, minus someone to share it with. Perfectly content in being a bachelor, finding a woman to spend his life with has been the last priority on his agenda. His mother, however, has an entirely different outlook on his future and has been adamant about finding him the perfect wife. To keep her off his back, Lincoln agrees to go on a date once every two weeks with a woman of her choosing. Lincoln is impeccable at purposely tanking every single one in order to maintain his bachelor lifestyle until he mistakes one of his mother's blind dates for a meeting with the youngest CEO of Stone Media Entertainment, Sienna Stone. She runs the largest marketing firm on the East Coast, and with Lincoln's company on the rocks, he knows she's his only shot at salvaging any chance at keeping the business his father worked so tirelessly to build. Pushing his pride aside, Lincoln attempts to get in Sienna's good graces after their awful first encounter, and through their banter and business deals, Lincoln comes to realize that maybe his future isn't as written in stone as he thought it was.
