It has been a year since Lady Rosalie's husband, Sir Elijah Darlington-Whit, was mysteriously killed, and a year since her brother, Decker Kennedy, punched Olivier Barthel in the face at a Wine and Dine event. Rosalie isn't ready for love-she still mourns her husband, and she really doesn't like Olivier.
A former playboy, Olivier desires Rosalie more than anything else in the world, even when he first set his eyes on her that fateful party. Tired of all the many girls in his life, he wants someone who can challenge him, someone who can light his fire. When Rosalie walked into his life, a fire sparked in him, making him want to be a better man for the woman who hates him more than life itself.
But after a kiss under the mistletoe on Christmas, Lady Rosalie might be ready for love again-even going so far as to making a deal with the Luxembourgish man: be friends with benefits, no feelings, no attachments, no nothing.
But what happens when Rosalie finds out about the truth of that night, and gives Olivier a chance, will Lady Rosalie finally find her second chance at love? Or will she finally give up on love once and for all?
"You never expect anything bad to happen in small towns. They're usually just filled with families, and friends, who love each other. Rolling Meadows was a town where everyone knew everyone, but it had its fair share of traumatic events. This town happened to be run by two rival gangs: The Spades and The Cobras."
Roommates Violet and Rosalie attend a New Year's Eve party and their prying eyes get them into trouble with The Spades. Kidnapping, weapon dealing, drug dealing, and death seem to follow this gang everywhere they go. Poor choices lead the girls to be kidnapped and forced to live in The Spade's house where romantic feelings begin to get stirred up. Is it even possible to love a heartless gang member?
