Lillian Guthrie has it all. Beautiful apartment, more clothes than she could ever wear in a year and the dream job. What else could a girl want? Lillian is sent on a business trip to Los Angeles to keep a business tycoon and an old client from suing each other. Lillian has always had one rule in her life: Love them and leave them, but Garrett O'Connell had her fighting feelings she didn't know she was capable of. Garrett O'Connell's hotel is in trouble when a famed baseball player assaults one of his hotel staff and a PR rep arrives on the scene to help him. He doesn't think he needs help but Lillian helps him quickly realize the error of his ways. She is beautiful and far too tempting and is very good at her job. He shouldn't be lusting after someone who is helping him but the way she looks at him tells him that she isn't immune to him either. Lillian has to remind herself that she is in Los Angeles for work not to find romance. But a wicked night of passion has her second guessing everything she had thought about relations. But he's a client and lives in another town. So nothing could come of this, right? A person from Lillian's past resurfaces and jeopardizes all that she had built over the years. A person she hoped to never see again. A person she sent to jail ten years ago. She has no choice but to confess her deepest secret to Garrett. She learns she can no longer fight her enemy alone and together with Garrett she discovers she is not alone and he will stand beside her. Can she trust this man with her heart or will her secret past be too much and have her on the run?
