Ariana Scarlett Quinn is only twenty-two when she finds herself with her hands full. Full of papers, full of documents to sign, full of responsibilities. Full of money. A lot of money.
But she knows how to handle it.
She knows how to handle herself.
And she knows how to handle men, making them fall on their knees using her attitude, her smart brain, her sarcasm, and her crimson lips.
There's only one man she can't handle.
Michael Leonardo DeAngelis wants to help her with her business, but she doesn't need his help. She knows what his intentions are, she just wants to get rid of him.
The problem is, it might be hard to turn down such a smart, attractive man, but he might be bound by blood to her greatest enemy.
Fragilities have to stay hidden, because people are scared of them. But Michael is not.
