Paris Santiago is happy, an emotion she falsely portrays well around her oblivious friends and family. Her recent escape from a poisonous relationship with a man equivalent to Satan swiftly changes her priorities and goals in life. All she yearns for is true happiness and to return to her former self. The best way she can accomplish this is to immerse herself in the past; return to her true home in Barcelona and reconnect with her family and friends. With a newfound sense of determination, Paris is adamant that no one will stop her from achieving happiness, and she's come to the conclusion that all men are the same - lying, manipulative scumbags, so she must avoid them like the plague.This becomes a difficult task when an intelligent, admiringly confident French man unexpectedly waltzes into her life with a charming personality and looks to match. Ansel Gaumond, a renowned name associated with perfection. He's visibly attractive, assertive, and filthy rich. He has everything men could possibly dream for his age; heaps of money, unlimited power, a revolving door of gorgeous women, and now a chance to run one of his father's many hotels in Barcelona. Excluding when he meets the girl only seen in dreams, he immediately expects to have her too, but he's met with a slap on the face, literally. He's resolute to make her his before his stay is over and he needs to depart back to his home - Montreal. Though Paris's walls are built so high it's clear that disarming her isn't going be as simple as he anticipated. Red roses, fine jewellery or extravagant dates won't win this woman's heart over so easily, that's for certain. Ansel has never backed down from a challenge before and he won't let anything or anyone stop him from this one.
