The only thing worse than timing is miscommunication, especially when one person thinks the other isn’t interested.

Has her perception of what’s expected of her high society life kept her from the one person she’s always wanted but resigned herself to never having? After all, her fiancé is definitely not what she thought he was. And to make matters worse, or maybe better, Holden Masters has always been the most tempting form of forbidden love. She’s discovering he also may very well be the best medicine for her broken heart. For Holden Masters, his haunted past collides with the present. His plans, which seemed so clear, become muddied. Will he finally drop his façade and back up his words of affection with actions or is he the player Cammie’s long pegged him to be? Now that the auction is over, could it be that Holden Masters has already won the prize before he’s even had The Date?
