The best laid plans of mice and men can always go awry. This is a fundamental truth that a couple who have nothing in common soon come to realize!Marcus Pearson is a man on a mission, he needs to keep a promise he made to his mother when he was young. He promised to purchase the hotel that his mother was fired from when he was 12. His mother died 4 years later, and he has been obsessively working his way to a vast fortune with the goal of purchasing the hotel as his last goal. But just as his goal appears to be within reach he is told that he doesn't have the necessary requirement to be considered as the final buyer.In order for his offer to be considered, he would have to come from "old money."  Marcus can't believe that he won't reach his goal, due to a worn out prejudice of "new money" versus "old". As he is talking to his friend and attorney Carter, Carter laughingly encourages Marcus to marry a socialite.Enter Pamela Harrington, she is a beautiful, educated and prominent member of the D.C. Social scene. Her father is a retired Senator who is emotionally withdrawn and cold to his only child. He trained Pamela to call him Senator when she was young, and she is constantly under duress to meet his social obligations. Pamela's only sense of joy lately is working at the women's shelter, but she just found out that Marcus's company purchased the building that houses the shelter and he has given them 60 days to vacate the premises. She will do whatever it takes to insure that the shelter stays where it is located. Thus begins a new journey that neither Pam nor Marcus saw coming.Marcus and Pamela enter into a marriage that started out being about a business venture, but turned into something more. But due to miscommunication and plain old stubbornness, they end up on the wrong side of their dream. Can they both find a way back to love or will they become another victim of a business deal gone bad?Step into a cosy, new love story that will make you laugh and cry. You will be so happy you did!*ARC received compliments of talented new author and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*
