    Chapter One
    Eva
could still remember the first time she’d met Max Nolan – how could she
possibly forget? It had been at that high-powered charity ball she’d
accompanied Mark, her boyfriend to.
    Her ex-boyfriend , she revised, biting on her
lip.
    But she
pushed that dreary thought away as her eyes flew once more to the man she’d
rather be thinking about right then. The Australian
billionaire cowboy, the philanthropist, the dream of every woman – Max
Nolan.
    He
didn’t seem to care that he stood out from the other men in the room, dressed
in their dark power suits, their shiny black wingtips. He was probably worth
more than half of them put together anyway. He was also in
his third year on the Forbes List of youngest male billionaires – fourth
or fifth place , she couldn’t remember which .
But all that didn’t matter to her.
    What
mattered, was the man. His dashing persona, his evident sense of
self-collection that made him seem different for all
the right reasons. He had a lean, streamlined body, with long legs that made
those pair of blue jeans he wore look sinful. His startling white shirt was tucked in and open at the throat, revealing
tanned, invitingly smooth skin.
    His
face was much too angular to be considered textbook handsome. But to a woman
like Eva, he appealed on so many levels. She liked his strong jaw, his narrow,
proud nose, his manly, firm lips. She also liked his
eyes, a gorgeous icy blue. He had longish golden brown hair
which framed his nicely shaped head, and she couldn’t help picturing him
in a cowboy hat to go with his deliberately casual attire. He looked like he’d
just stepped off the ranch for a drink with the guys.
    “You
didn’t tell me Max Nolan will be here,” she said almost accusingly to her
mother, who was standing next to her. Lori Fowler, silver-haired and elegantly
lovely at age fifty, turned to her daughter in surprise.
    “I had
no idea you knew him,” the older woman said. This was one of her many cocktail
parties she threw for the project close to her heart – the Henry Fowler
Foundation named after her late husband, Eva’s father. Now, mother and daughter
stood side by side , welcoming and greeting guests,
male and female, who were the cream of the town’s corporate society.
    Eva shrugged.
“I’ve met him once. Leon introduced us; his financial firm had been running
after the Nolan account for ages, apparently.”
    She saw
her mother’s lips curl slightly in irritation at the mention of Leon’s name.
Eva knew her mother had never approved of her ex, and now he’d given Lori one
more reason to dislike him by breaking Eva’s heart.
    But
then, was she truly heartbroken, Eva mused for a moment. And then she decided
the achy feeling in her chest was mostly due to the fact that Leon had simply
helped do what she hadn’t had the guts to do long ago. Break up a relationship
that held no fire, no promise.

    Eva was
just twenty three and Leon had been her first, so she
didn’t really have much to judge by. She’d tried asking her
