Introduction

Dating an older man is convenient. He’s rich, confident, and knows what he wants. But he has absolutely no time for you. After six months of dating Ryan Whitmore, you’ve realized that money is his love language. Although the two of you have never even talked about love. Finally, you were going to spend a couple of weeks at his country house in Santa Monica. Just the two of you, the sun, the pool, a big bed, and… a sudden call from Germany about a problem with an Audi shipment. Of course. You’re going to spend a week alone in the house. Or with another Whitmore, who isn’t very happy to see you.
