I was the notorious troublemaker of Betrico's elite circles. My mom literally dragged me to a blind date. When I pushed open the private room door, sitting at the head of the table was my lifelong archrival, James Kingston.

You don't mind any of this, do you?" I thought I could piss them off and walk out. But James shot me a sly grin and leisurely poured his mom a cup of coffee.

Plus, she's got that irresistible feminine charm. "I'm head over heels."
