When Chicago real estate tycoon Harvey Zale pings a āfriend of a friendā with a flirtatious text, he never expects to start an addictive sexting affair with a complete stranger. Heās a billionaire who can get any woman he wants, but he canāt have herāhis mysterious, sultry Contessa, who inspires his nightly confessions and soothes more than just his conscience from the consequences of his own shallow ambitions.
Heās determined to build the tallest towers in the world and he needs to sell his Chicago riverfront property to finance it. But when Alma Castillo, the Lara Croft of antique hunters, shows up on his land, claiming the existence of a priceless Tiffany stained glass window and doing everything in her power to muck up his deal, he knows heās got more than a stray cat to collar and tame. Sheās not only on a mission to save long-lost antiques; sheās also on a personal crusade to hate his guts.

And heād care a helluva lot more if his ex-wifeās sassy tongue and wicked intelligence didnāt turn him on every time she called him āa**holeā and if she didnāt look so damn cute in those baggy overalls, disguising her affinity for being naughty as much as being nice.
Perhaps even as naughty as his Contessa, who unlike Alma, doesnāt know anything about his real identity or flawed, billionaire reputation, which flames his desires to escalate their fantasy relationship into the reality of one scorching night of mindblowing…
If he could only get his mind off his ex-wifeāthe only woman he’s ever truly loved. God, woman…if she would just let him pleasure her scornful frown and turn it oh, oh, oooohhhh so upside down, maybe he could convince her to marry him again.
But no one ever said it was easy being a greedy opportunistic billionaire bastard, especially one who happens to know thereās nothing better than makeup sex with an exā¦
