Sexy East Coast playboy, Nolan Banks, is disturbing my perfectly buttoned-up life. He sleeps with celebrities, jets around the globe and thumbs his nose at the tabloids.
And every time he gets drunk and photographed with some random harlot claiming she's pregnant with his love child, I get the call.
Clean it up, Charlie.
Nolan's mess.
You see, I'm Charlene de Monaco, Nolan's corporate attorney.
Then he went and did it. Something so outrageous his daddy can't buy him out of it. I can't even lawyer him out of it. His only hope for redemption is pretending to straighten up and fly right. To act like he's in love with one woman. Committed. Monogamous.
It's a solid strategy.
Except for one fatal flaw.
He picks me.
