Katherine "Kitty" Peters is done doing what Daddy says... When Kitty rebels against her wealthy father, he issues an ultimatum. She has one month to agree with his plans for a suitable marriage, or find her own way without the benefit of all he provides for her. Taking full advantage of those precious weeks, Kitty escapes her suffocating world for a more colorful one...where she meets a tattooed maverick who captivates her with one sexy smirk. Adam Vaughn doesn't play by the rules... His good looks and bad-boy persona always get him what he wants, but he's also an artist, a painter, and deeply sensitive. Lately, however, only one thing inspires him-the stunning Kitty Peters. Passion flares, but a family crisis might douse the flame... Adam needs help, and Kitty's father has connections. As the end of her month approaches, Kitty's deal with the devil is far more complicated than simply submitting to her father's will. Can she walk away from the man she loves in order to save him from pain? Even if it means living the rest of her life without him?
