Formerly poor, cynical, and carefree, he finds himself hunted by marriage-minded females.

It was a reckless wager, and one Max couldn't resist: seduce the alluring Olivia or forfeit part of his fortune.

Now, Max must beat a Madman at his own twisted game-or forever lose the only woman to have ever won his heart.
