Trendsetting influencer. Society columnist. Hannah Raven has worked nonstop since she was sixteen to make it big.

Decorated military hero. Doctor. One of Chicago's prized eligible bachelors. Dalton Derico thought he'd seen it all, and what he'd seen wasn't worth a damn. Then a stunning woman collapses in his arms after being slipped a roofie, and everything changes. There is beauty in the world, and he will have it for himself… as long as he can convince Hannah that all her roads lead to him. Flitting from party to party has always been Hannah's way, but now that she knows the darker side of party life, she's reconsidering where she belongs. Is she destined to cover the celebrations of other people forever, or should she risk putting her faith in Dalton by creating a new world that could belong to them both? ***This contemporary romance includes a fiercely protective Alpha who's hot enough to raise temperatures and drop panties.
