HIS EX'S WELL-KEPT SECRET

When Piper went to a jewelry store to request an appraisal of a family heirloom, the man who assisted her was Jaeger Ballantyne, the president of the company and the most famous playboy in Manhattan. They are smitten with each other at first sight and spend a passionate night together. A year and a half later, when Piper's house is repossessed to pay her father's debts, she revisits Jaeger, hoping to sell the heirloom. But for some reason, he doesn't seem to remember her!
