Vivienne POV
Vivienne had been having actual fun with Ryan while she tried to ignore Grayson. The man was business smart and had a successful hotel in California. It was refreshing, talking to someone who didn’t have an ulterior motive.

Even in high school, he’d had a knack for drawing attention—and finding women who would fall over themselves for him.
