At Twin Oaks Country Club, there are the fortunate ones, and then there are the rest of us: the waiters, the caddies, the valets, and in my case, the cabana girls. Most days, Iâm poolside in a pleated skirt, dishing out margaritas to tycoons and titans. Itâs not exactly my dream job, but it does come with one perk....
James Ashwood.
Heâs my silver lining in a custom black suit.
Besides being a legacy member at the club, heâs a tech mogul and Austinâs most eligible bachelor. Oh, and those dimples? Yeah, they make my stomach dip, too.
On good days, I catch his sleek Porsche winding down the tree-lined drive. On better days, I steal a glimpse of his handsome profile as we pass in the hall. And on the absolute best day, I find him alone at the bar, looking for company.
"Come have a seat."
Those four little words set me down a path I never could have imagined. Private planes, penthouse suites, and temptations around every corner make it impossible to keep my distance. His world feels decadent and wild - but overindulgence comes with a cost. Every kiss comes with strings. Every erotic encounter is a promise Iâm not ready to keep.
When I pump the brakes, he hits the gas. James doesnât want to go slow - he wants a commitment.
And the thing about the fortunate ones?
Theyâre used to getting what they want.

FörstÄr inte riktigt hur detta kan kallas en romantisk komedi. Visst Àr dÀr nÄgra komiska inslag men jag tycker mest att den Àr Ängestframkallande och seg. Utöver det kÀnns det som ett vÀldigt ohÀlsosamt förhÄllande mellan huvudkaraktÀrerna.
