Binky Huckstable has a number of problems. A ridiculous name, for one. Her genius I.Q. (Not always a blessing.) An arid, meaningless lovelife. Being the CPO - Chief Product Officer - of her family's billion-dollar company. Oh, and the upcoming company dinner-dance - where her former fiancé, Horatio Karlsson, is to be wooed as a potential new client. Her job, of course.
Ten years ago, she had a whole different bunch of problems. Being a college drop-out - disowned and disinherited by her loaded family - and waitressing to pay the bills, amongst others. Her history hadn't seemed important, when she met Karl, a customer in the restaurant where she worked. To him, she was the honest blue-collar service worker, the pretty working-class waitress he had a crush on. And he was the spoilt rich kid she should have known better than to fall for...
Her love had been sincere. But his friends - well, gold digger was one of the nicer names they'd had for her. Perhaps their break-up had been inevitable, after all.
What the hell is she supposed to do, when they meet up again at that dinner? And Horatio finds out the truth?
