Imagine bumping into the same person, who was a stranger only a few hours ago, three times in the span of a day. In a big city like LA, what are the odds of that happening? When alpha billionaire Hunter Evans’ growing business takes him from his ranch in Fort Collins, Colorado, on an extended business trip to Los Angeles, he planned on focusing on two main objectives: 1. Sign up as many new clients as humanly possible and 2. Have as much fun as allowed in the City of Angels (aka, sample as many women as he can). After a demanding first week, he takes up his good friend’s offer to hang out and hit the LA nightlife. As the consummate bachelor that he is, Hunter ends up partying way too hard, drinking too much and having his way with a few too many women. Waking up the next morning in a hurry to leave last night behind him, he never imagined he'd be smitten by a sassy twenty-two year old waitress with a sexy Southern drawl the second he lays eyes on her. After bumping into her for the third time in the span of a day, Hunter simply can't let her go. After one steamy and passionate evening, he realizes in shock that this sexy Southern Belle might not be as much of a stranger as he thought.
