Charli had a girl's night out to celebrate her business taking off, and her friends encouraged her to have a one night stand with a hunk, and they even share names. It was epic, and memorable. Until a few days later when she realized the guy, Nate, was the head of an investment group that was going to fund her business expansion. Now she can't take his money, because photos from that night at the club had leaked. While no one had made the connection yet, it was only a matter of time before someone accused her to sleeping her way to funding. // Nate was almost killed by a jilted lover (who threw him in front of a bus, really). He survived, and he's not looking to get involved with a woman, even one as enchanting as Charli. And now that he had accidentally ruined her life, he wanted to make amends... But Charli is not accepting his help. Now... How to convince her...
The plot feels somewhat clumsy, and the guy comes across as almost stalker-ish. Instead of giving up, he basically sends his assistant, or use the business association (which he heads) to invite her for a chat (because she won't talk to him directly). I also find it a bit... implausible why the guy turned off by love would go to a club alone and accept a one-night-stand. I also failed to notice the race. This was meant to be BWWM (black woman, white man) romance, but I guess I just didn't notice at all except for Charli living in a bad part of town. 3/5
