A spoiled heiress. A handsome restaurant owner. And one very unexpected second chance at love.
Ava Pennington has always had money, beautiful clothes, and a wealthy father who took care of everything. But when he discovers she dropped out of college, he cuts her off—and suddenly her perfect life starts falling apart.
With her credit cards canceled, her apartment lease ending, and eight years before she can access her inheritance, Ava has no choice but to get a job. Unfortunately, the only person willing to give her one is the annoyingly handsome restaurant manager who witnessed her most humiliating moment.
Sieger thinks Ava needs to learn how to stand on her own. Ava thinks he has no idea what he's talking about. But as working beside him opens her eyes to a life beyond money, parties, and appearances, Ava finds herself falling for the one man she never expected to want.
Now she just has to decide whether she's willing to risk everything—including the life she's always known—for a love she never saw coming.
