SummaryA romantic game of chicken—and they're both too
stubborn to flinch.
Lucy Fairchild, lawyer and heiress to the Fairchild fortune,
has just had the worst day of her life. Her father has found
the perfect man for her to marry. Yes, she's thirty and
single, but that doesn't give her father the right to run
her life. She'll choose her own husband—someday.
Jake Dalton is struggling to make his fledgling construction
company a success. Ever mindful of his father's derogatory
comments that he'd never amount to anything, he's spent his
entire life trying to prove he's not a failure.
From their first meeting on a construction site, verbal
sparks fly. Their argument escalates into a dare for a
date—and the game is on. Lucy thinks Jake is the
perfect fake boyfriend to parade around in the hopes of
getting her father off her back. Jake is amused by the
chance to annoy both Lucy and her dad—he doesn't intend
to take the dating thing seriously.
But the heart is a fickle thing, and not above playing
dirty. In their quest to prove something—to each other,
or maybe to themselves—they find themselves building a
case...for love.
And suddenly all the rules have changed.
