Sometimes a prince of privilege becomes a king among men. In LA, land of palm trees and perpetual sunshine, charming trust-fund golden boy Josh Huntington meets his match in Emma Gray, an independent single-mother who can't be won by charm...and who makes him past ready to be a man. EVERYTHING HE WANTS Lucky in looks, fortunate in birth, Josh Huntingon is a prince of privilege, one of L.A.'s golden boys. In his nearly thirty years there have been no clouds in the sky and no dip in his funds-until now. His impossibly strong sense of self-interest is being challenged...and not just by his father's threats to cut his trust fund. There's also his tenant, a prickly young single mom with a six-year-old and a habit of looking down her self-reliant nose at his wastrel ways. Emma Gray has no use for rich man-boys like her landlord, all charming sensuality and no dependability. Not unless her sink needs unclogging. Josh reminds her too much of her rock-star father and a past that she ran away from. Emma is self-made, from her punk rock wardrobe to her fiercely independent lifestyle. But her quest for family will bring them all together, and soon Emma will learn that the spoiled boy next door desires things she doesn't realize...and can grow up to be a man she never dared imagine.
