Reckless

He told every Norouzi at the dinner table she was his. He forgot to tell her first.

Kelly Donovan teaches second grade in the morning, sells real estate in the afternoon, and spends every Sunday at the Norouzi compound watching her best friend's cousins get married one by one. She's the last single woman at the table. Tonight Roxanne decided to *help* — and Kelly is three seconds from fleeing through the sliding glass door when Xerses Norouzi, the coldest, most controlled of all twelve brothers, sets his hand on the small of her back and tells his mother they've been seeing each other for months.

Xerses doesn't do relationships. He does gestures. Silent limos. A surprise deed to the childhood zoo she cried at as a kid. A penthouse he never bothers to warm.

Kelly doesn't want to be bought.

She wants a man who knows she's the last-virgin secret at a table full of newlyweds.

Fake dating. Virgin heroine. Opposites attract. Ice-cold trillionaire meets a schoolteacher who refuses to be managed.
