A self-made fortune hunter with a scandalous past needs to become respectable fast, so he hires an exquisite etiquette expert to polish his rough edges in just three weeks. What neither of them expects is the absolutely electric chemistry that ignites between the headstrong, independent woman trying to civilize him and the powerful man determined to claim her at any cost. As passion threatens to derail their professional arrangement, Thorn faces an impossible choice: transform himself into the respectable husband society demands, or risk everything to keep the one woman who truly sees him. It's a delicious clash of wills wrapped in witty banter and swoon-worthy tension that will leave you desperate to know which he'll choose.
