She's his dirty secret.
No need to ask...he is A Smooth Operator!
I'm Remi Drake, the king of Memphis nightlife. At under thirty, I own the hottest spots in town, and believe me, I enjoy every perk that comes with it.
Echo is my sister's friend—she used to be the designated ugly fat friend (DUFF) in high school. Now, she's a cancer researcher with a PhD. She's no longer fat but curvy and sexy; and then there's that amazing brain of hers. Plus, she’s always had a thing for me.
One night, things get out of hand and I pitch the idea of an acquaintance-with-benefits no strings, no promises, and most importantly, no one can ever know. Just fun. Perfect, right? Except it isn't. Jealousy and old feelings twist our no-strings-fling into something complicated.
When Echo overhears me say terrible things about her in front of my friends, she decides she's had enough of my bullshit. By the time I figure out that Echo is the one for me, it's too late. I've already lost her
