Hot and Bothered — Liz Maverick

Living la belle vie is the best revenge…

Hosting a fabulous party is the perfect cap-off to Cassie Hagen's successful business trip in Paris. Living in the land of decadent macarons, French fashion and champagne is great -- especially compared to her past life as the scholarship student at a tony New York private school.

Then Jack Marchand shows up. Sure, he's hot, French and superapologetic about how he humiliated her in high school. He was all of her firsts: her first lover, the first to break her heart and the first to dump her after one night together.

Jack has never forgotten Cassie. He's determined to prove he's changed and win her back. As an apology, it's pretty much perfect. Deliciously so. But Cassie isn't quite ready to forgive him.
