Come As You Are

I couldn't have scripted a more perfect night.For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I'm not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine--multimillionaire. But who's counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I've ever met, who happens to like dancing, witty banter, and passionate up-against-the-wall sex as much as I do.There's no need for names or business cards. And that's why I'm eager to get to know her more, since my mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge...bank account.Everything's coming up aces. Until the next day when things get a little complicated. (Newsflash -- a lot complicated.)***He's charming, brilliant, an incredible lover, and right now I want to stab fate in the eyeballs.I've had one goal I've been working toward, and lo and behold, my mystery man is the very person who stands between me and my dream job. A job I desperately need since my hard-knock life has nothing in common with his star-kissed one.But it's time to put that fairytale night behind me, and focus on learning what makes him tick. Too bad it turns out his quirks are my quirks, and his love affair with New York matches mine.And as we spend our days together, I discover something else that feels like a cruel twist of fate -- I'm falling for this modern-day naughty prince charming, and that's not an ending I can write to our story.*A standalone contemporary romance *
