Being born on the wrong side of the tracks won't hold her back... When her friend and boss asks her to step in and take over Novelteas, the trendiest bookstore in Brisbane, Karen Walker jumps at the chance to prove she's got what it takes to do the job. She's worked damn hard to get where she is and no one and nothing is going to stop her from achieving her goals. Certainly not the insane attraction she has to a man she shouldn't want. Because Edward is the worst kind of kryptonite: a bad boy with a heart of gold. Being born with a silver spoon in his mouth won't help him now... Being the chauffeur for one of Australia's wealthiest men is exactly as boring as it sounds, but Edward Berringer is a man with a plan and an unshakable will to succeed. But success comes in many forms, including the burgeoning romance with the sexy, sassy manager from his favourite bookstore. He knows he should walk away and leave Karen alone, but when he discovers her tragic past rivals his own, there's nothing he won't do to protect the good girl who's stolen his heart.
