He’d specifically requested his name not be put up for silent auction at the Artis–Naples Philharmonic annual Spend the Weekend with a Bachelor fundraising event. He drew the line when it came to making himself available to pamper and submit to the whims of a spoiled socialite. He’d only attended the event to honor the memory of his late wife. Time stood still when Jonelle Madison walked in like a starlet strolling across the red carpet. Twenty years ago Jonelle had thrown his love back in his face because he didn’t have the money to keep her in the life style she was accustomed. Twenty years later he had power, money, prestige, and had everything he’d ever wanted, but the one thing he couldn’t have, her. Had she submitted is name? What game was she playing? Most of all, would she, once again, turn his world upside down? Janelle Madison has it all. A successful real estate business and a home in the Port Royal section of Naples. Raised with money, she’s comfortable with the success she’s achieved and is respected by her many friends. There’s one thing that would make her life complete. The love of Lucien Behr. The ten months they’d lived together during college had been among the happiest times in her life. When his name appears on the date with a bachelor list, the annual fund raiser for the one of her favorite organizations, she sees it as her last chance to regain his love. She’s willing to give up everything she’s worked for, but first she’d have to get him to forgive her for throwing his love back in his face. less
