Cut off from the family fortune so that she can experience life in the real world, socialite Robin Lear is forced out of her cushy job at her father`s company. Facing the challenges of life without wealth, the formerly pampered Robin must take the only job she can find--as an assistant to her former, and rather dislikable, boyfriend. Still, her life takes a turn for the better when she meets a sexy contractor named Jake Manning. This is the first book in trilogy of contemporary romance novels loosely based on KING LEAR.
