Totally incapable of shedding a single tear--or, better yet, unwilling to do so--at her father's funeral, Maria, a free-spirited young woman who knows how to stand up for herself, has already planned her next move. First, receiving a substantial inheritance is a step in the right direction; nevertheless, making a legacy last requires a lot more than luck and good looks--and pretty soon--the lethally-blonde heiress will need to put into action yet another daringly devious plan--one that would set her free once and for all from her sister and her money-grubbing fiancé. In everyone's eyes, Maria is nothing but a vain and arrogant egotist who stops at nothing to get what she wants; however, before an unforeseen whirlwind romance, she, too, shall succumb to the absolutism of love.
