Isabelle Beaufort
Isabelle loves her library not only is it her dream job, but it's also where her father used to bring her every Saturday as she grew up.
She is heartbroken when she discovers that the council have sold it to no other than billionaire Playboy Adam Xander. Everything Xander buys, he turns into a bar or gentlemen's club or knocks down and builds apartments. Isabelle knows her little library isn't safe unless she can persuade Xander to preserve her haven.
Adam Xander
Adam has no problem getting his hands dirty to get what he wants because no one has the guts to tell him no—until her.
No woman turns Adam down and on the rare occasion that they do, he finds another in minutes. But when he meets the feisty little librarian, who makes it perfectly clear she has no interest in him, it becomes his mission to get what he wants. But Adam isn't the only one who has eyes on his girl. Will he be able to protect Isabelle from her other admirers? Will one night be enough for the notorious billionaire playboy? Or has he found the one person who could teach him that there's more to life than making money?
