A turbulent unexpected romance with the hero having plenty of absurdly stupid moments and a manipulative wretch trying to ruin everything for Nicole and Clay. The book is full of emotions and takes place in a lovely setting. You won't be able to put it down!
I don't know why Deveraux prefers heroes who act like utter a-holes, but she does. So don't read this if you tend to be annoyed by, say, oh ... stupid jerk wads.
