GIANNAI hate my dad’s boss. I’d never actually met Auburn Bouvier, but I despised him on principle. He was a cold, demanding dictator who made his employees miserable. When I moved to New York City, it was inevitable that I would run into the head of the Bouvier fashion empire while visiting my dad at his office, and when I did, the man was nothing like I expected.

He was worse.

Yet I somehow ended up on a date with the enigmatic Mister Bouvier. Sure, he was incredibly handsome with jet black hair, a perfect jawline, and a mouth that looked like it was spun from sugar and sin, but he was also arrogant, overbearing, and a complete jerk. Not to mention he was fifteen years older than me.

Worst date ever.

AUBURNI needed a date. I recently broke up with my long-time girlfriend—again—so I was not looking for anything serious. I simply needed a pretty lady on my arm for one evening.

Then I met my assistant’s daughter, Gianna, and couldn’t peel my eyes away from her.

Since I was accustomed to getting exactly what I wanted, I demanded that she accompany me to the gala. No one dared to say no to me, so here we were.Our age difference seemed to fade away the more I talked to Gianna. She was witty, intelligent, and the most gorgeous woman I’d ever seen.

Best date ever.
