Abbie Keller thought that Richard Bartholemew Benson the Third would be
her forever. In their four years of dating, she never doubted that she
wouldn’t end up with his grandmother’s engagement ring on her finger. Sure,
she had to change a few things about herself to fit that mold, like dying
her hair, dressing more conservatively, and finding golf enjoyable
(honestly the most difficult of the changes), but she was sure that at the
end of it all, it would be worth it.That is, until he leaves her crying
outside her apartment wearing a Halloween costume, having broken it off
with her because she’s just not serious enough. She was just fun, he tells
her – and now that Richard has becoming a partner at his law firm in his
sights, he needs to focus on work.So she does what every girl does when
she’s broken up with: she calls her friends, gets drunk, dyes her hair, and
formulates her plan for revenge. It just so happens that the universe
supports her efforts and gives her the perfect match to prove to her ex
that he made a huge mistake: his boss.Abbie starts dating the founding
partner of Richard’s law firm, Damien Martinez, with one thing in mind:
convincing him to invite her to the huge annual Christmas party as his
date.But when the relationship starts to become something more than casual
dating and Abbie sees that the tough New York lawyer has a soft side, will
she be able to follow through with her plan of deceit? Read more
