Summary

Robert Peyton made his billions from tech, oil, real estate, and pharmaceuticals. He isn't the typical arrogant, showboating billionaire and prefers to keep his circle tight and remain out of the spotlight. Robert's family and friends decide to throw a surprise luxury yacht party for his 35th birthday. Robert was bored out of his mind during the event and prayed something would happen that would force him to call it a night. He barely finished his train of thought when a waitress clumsily spilled a glass of champagne on his lap. She was immediately fired on the spot and ran below deck in tears. The softie in Robert had him seeking out the young woman. One thing led to another, and Robert found himself inviting the melancholy woman for an impromptu trip to Lake Charles for a night of gambling and debauchery. Sasha Greene left Austin, Texas, broke as a joke for a night of wild fun with a billionaire, and returned two days later Mrs. Sasha Peyton. The pair mutually decided to keep their marriage a secret while they adjust to their new lives in the spotlight. The couple will have to overcome overwhelming media attention, Sasha's thrust into fame, threats to Sasha's life, Robert's family who want them separated, and a lovesick bodyguard who wants Sasha for himself.
