But if a pretty publishing assistant happens to run into him at the Waldorf, with a business card and a smile...what could go wrong? A lot, it seems. Lily thinks she's going to meet a rich jerk, or worse, a playboy, but the truth is way more disturbing. Jonas Crane is smart, engaging...and devastatingly out of her league.
