Van Carter is a billionaire executive who has everything he wants in life. He's always been in control of his world, and everyone with half a brain knows better than to cross him. Valerie Moore is a nineteen-year-old waitress who's scraping by to make ends meet. Her mother has cancer, and she's desperate for money. When she finds out a rich billionaire is at the diner she waitresses at, it's like her ship has finally rolled in. Stealing from Van could solve all her problems. The only problem? She's not a good pickpocket, and when Van catches her, he's out for blood. Until he looks into her beautiful green eyes, that is. Something about the pretty little brunette captivates him, and Van is a ruthless businessman if nothing else. He knows how to take control of a situation to work things in his favor. So, he makes a deal with her. He won't press charges if she agrees to be his personal assistant and obey his every command. Van is powerful, so Valerie really has no choice but to submit to Van's control. What could possibly go wrong?
