The son of Lee and Rose, James Montenegro, is the hottest playboy in Europe. Rich thanks to his mother's popular bakery chain and his father's Olympic swimming career, he goes through models like tissue, ditches the paparazzi, and dates the occasional duchess or two. He's wild, untamed, and nobody can stop him from having fun.

Except the police.

After one night in jail too many, James is given a choice by his fed-up parents - spend a year in Oxford studying business, or go to military school. James picks the one that allows more booze and girls.

The daughter of Kiera and Felix, Ophelia Rothman's had a tough life - with her mother in jail and her father missing, she's been raised by her ailing grandfather. Determined to make him proud and with a keen photographic memory, she aces the exams for Oxford, and begins her freshmen year with hopes to become a neurosurgeon.

But then she meets him. James Montenegro. And the memories return. Memories of his family ruining hers. And revenge starts boiling in her veins.

It starts as a game - make the playboy idiot fall in love, and then crush him. Ophelia watches his every move, learns his every preference, and transforms herself into the girl of his dreams.

But when James falls in love with the real Ophelia, can she forget the pain of generations past and find love with the boy who ruined her life?

Or will James' own dark secret destroy them both?
