Masks are second nature to Eric der Vries--they're all he's ever known when he was groomed as part of the powerful der Vries clan of New York's Upper East Side. Masks through prep school. Masks through college and even after he left New York and his stifling family for good. But now he's been called back by his ailing grandmother with a threat: marry immediately or lose it all. But there's one other problem: the only one person who might make the whole thing bearable is Jane: Swears-like-a-sailor, right-out-of-his-grandmother's-nightmares, sex-on-a-stick Jane, who has the ability to tear down every one of Eric's masks with a single snarky comment.

Jane Lefferts marches to the beat of her own drum. She's a half-Korean who prefers combat boots and spiky hair to her mother's capris pants and sweater sets, and has a physical inability to be silent in a family where women are supposed to keep their mouths shut. For her, relationships mean censorship, which is why she's never been interested in staying in one long enough to care what someone else thinks of her. So why, even years after they first decided to get their obvious attraction out of their system, can't she get Eric der Vries out of her head? And when she receives his insane request that she marry him for money, why is she so tempted to take him up on the offer when she knows they'll drive each other crazy?
