       MEET THE FORTUNES

      Fortune of the Month: Amersen Beaudin (Shh! Nobody knows he’s a Fortune!)

      Age: 25

      Vital statistics: The sexy Frenchman has blue eyes, tousled brown hair and that certain je ne sais quoi.

      Claim to fame: He is a renowned winemaker, a brash blogger and the toast of Paris.

      Romantic prospects: His reputation with the ladies is legendary. Just don’t ask him for a commitment.

      “Nothing has gone according to plan since I arrived in Austin. When Kate Fortune asked me here to consult on a business venture, I figured I would be in and out in twenty-four hours. But I hadn’t counted on Robin, Kate’s landscape gardener. From the moment I saw her, I was... enchanté.

      “Robin would never believe that Paris’s enfant terrible is actually one of Jerome Fortune’s bastard children. And as far as I am concerned, she does not need to know. Up next: a brief but dazzling affaire de coeur. By the time Christmas comes, I will be far across the sea. But can I romance fair Robin and then leave her behind?”

       Chapter One

      Amersen Beaudin hated flying.

      Despite the fact that he’d racked up more frequent-flyer miles in the past five years than most people did in a lifetime, not even the luxurious private jet he was currently seated in was enough to change his opinion. Still, he thought as he stretched out his legs and sipped on a twenty-five-year-old scotch, this was definitely better than traveling coach. Not that he’d done that for several years. He closed his eyes and thought about what he was about to walk into once he landed in Austin.

      Fortunes.

      More than he’d ever wanted to meet. Or know.

      But ninetysomething matriarch and business icon Kate Fortune had requested his presence, and she wasn’t an easy woman to refuse. And plus, he was curious. Despite everything.
