Bar owner Des Chapman has vowed never again to get involved with society girls. Yet he's irresistibly drawn to Gracie - those lush curves, those lips, and her ridiculous ability to date the wrong guys. As Gracie's discouragement grows, Des realizes it's time to show her what she really needs in a man - and it has nothing to do with a briefcase and generous bank account. He'll teach Gracie the rules according to Des...even if it means breaking his rule in the process.

Unless he wants to show up to the wedding alone and face his family's scrutiny, he needs a girl on his arm. Now.
