Gossip Girl meets Scandal in this sparkling romance about a newly minted CEO and the "billionaire babysitter" hired to rehab his playboy image--but falling in love could be the worst scandal of all.

He needed a perfect year. She needed a way out.

After years of living up to his reckless reputation, Henry Amari is ready to step into the role of CEO at his family's prestigious company, Amari Global. But the board isn't so sure Henry can leave old habits behind, so they give him one year to prove himself worthy and hire a top PR firm to help Henry fix his public persona. Just one problem: when his new consultant-slash-babysitter arrives, Henry's humiliated to discover that she's the gorgeous woman he tried to flirt with at a party--who heartily rejected him.

Selena Montez, the "aristocrat whisperer," needs to complete one last job before she can leave New York City. After a disastrous experience with another socialite family, she needs this account to be a win. Even if Henry pulls her guard down with his authenticity and kindness--this has to be just business. But as she and Henry grow closer, her secret connection to high society starts to catch up to her. That, paired with an attraction they can't fight, means Selena herself might be the greatest threat to Henry's reputation.

With a highly coveted acquisition, and Henry's position as CEO, on the line--can love survive the scandal?
