Zeke Nicholas has turned his mathematical genius skills into a mountain of money. But Zeke sits on that mountain all alone, longing for the one thing money can't buy: true love. Enter Mandy Mitchell...the maid the Casa Blanca Resort & Spa where Zeke is staying. Except, Mandy is much more than that to Zeke-she was the object of his every teenage dream back when she was known as "Mandy the Magnificent" and he had the unflattering high school nickname of "Ezekiel the Geekiel."Zeke is no longer a geek-he's gorgeous. And Mandy doesn't feel so magnificent since her marriage fell apart and left her up to her eyeballs in debt and despair. The minute they meet again, Mandy knows he's exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid...but Zeke does have one thing Mandy needs to gain the independence she craves. Will he give it to her? One look at Mandy, and Zeke turns his relentless ability to get what he wants into a full-on seduction and he's ready to give her anything.
