One last fling before I settle

Six months before her meticulously arranged society wedding, twenty-one-year-old Ruby Pearson discovers her fiance's betrayal-and the girl raised to be "perfect" starts wanting something wildly imperfect: choice. Enter Dr. Aiden Green, the brilliant, untouchable professor who sees straight through Ruby's polished composure. What begins as a reckless bid to feel anything becomes a combustible triangle-safe love versus forbidden desire-playing out under Manhattan's brightest spotlights and her family's heaviest expectations. As reputations, fortunes, and futures tighten around her, Ruby must decide whether to forgive the boy she's always known, risk everything for the man she shouldn't want, or finally write a life that's hers alone. The cost of claiming herself could burn every bridge behind her.
