To avenge his mother's mistreatment at the hands of her upper-crust employer, self-made real estate tycoon Marcus Pearson needs entree into their exclusive world. When D.C. socialite Pamela Harrington comes to him for help, Marcus realizes the golden admission ticket he's been seeking has suddenly fallen into his lap. Pamela will do anything to save her favorite cause, even agree to a marriage of convenience. The altruistic "it-girl" isn't worried about the pretend passion with Marcus turning real; she's sworn off powerful, driven men who use her for her family's connections. So she'll deny the way her pulse races with one look from his crystalline blue eyes. And he'll ignore the way his body throbs with each kiss from her full lips. Because there's no way he'll lose his blue-collar heart to the blue-blooded beauty.

A fun, well-written tycoon marriage of convenience book. He's self-made, she's old money; he's Out for Revenge, she has an altruistic cause. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's satisfying. I do think it would have benefited from a bit more page time, and a little more edge to the hero. But overall, a good time.

Tracy always brings the drama :P I enjoyed how Mr Big Shot had to, I don't know, think about someone else for a change.
