Within days of wishing she could change her life, Fran Cooper is working for a celebrity, on a yacht, and en route to a tiny Italian island and the glittering Crystal Ball.

When she – quite literally – bumps into a handsome American called Evan, the magic really begins. He makes her a promise: no last names, no life stories, just one unforgettable night.

But Evan belongs at the ball and Fran is a gatecrasher. Their lives are a world apart – unless, on a night like this, everything can change forever…
