Publisher's Synopsis
El is a beautiful, successful, plus-sized woman who suffered a debilitating trauma that has left her hating all handsome, wealthy men exactly like Stefan Le Beau. Unfortunately for Le Beau, she's known him since she was sixteen and was totally snubbed by him. To her, he's a hound dog and a man-whore. Stefan is a playboy to the extreme with one hard and fast rule: date a woman only once, take her to bed, and be gone before morning. Until El. Stefan's dream of finding his mate comes true when he bids two hundred thousand dollars to win a date with El at Simon's charity ball. Money well spent in his opinion. Now, if she would only talk to him. Or look at him. Or touch him, or...like him. Can Stefan convince El he's a reformed man? Can El learn to trust a man who is the epitome of what she avoids and could shatter her heart? It will require drastic, strategic measures from the entire family to make this mating happen Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, where every myth and scary story you were ever told is real. A place where the things that go bump in the night, or daytime for that matter, are surprisingly friendly. For the most part. Take a good look at your neighbor, the person sitting beside you at the bar, or your coworker. Are you sure they're human?
