Paris, the city of love-yet for me, love has never come easily. My name is Sophie Marchand. I never imagined my path would lead me here-working side by side with Nicholas Deveraux, the powerful CEO of Vinci Group. All my life, I fought to rise above the loneliness of my orphaned childhood. I studied harder than anyone else, worked tirelessly, and built a career with one dream in my heart: to someday have a stable family of my own, a life where I was never alone. I never thought my beauty would open doors faster than my lawyer degree. With my professionalism and my looks, opportunities often came my way. That's how I found myself here-Nicholas's personal assistant. At first, he was my boss. Handsome. Poweful. Charismatic. I told myself I would keep things professional, that I would never blur the line between work and personal life. But the more time we spent together, the more his gorgeous blue eyes lingered on me, the more his charm wrapped around me, the weaker my resolve became. Finally, when Nicholas offered me a secret relationship-temporary, exclusive-I should have said no. I knew it could end in heartbreak. I knew there was someone else - his former girlfriend from a wealthy family, the woman his world expects him to marry - the woman he promised to wait for her to come back. And yet... I couldn't resist him. The temptation... Now, every stolen glance, every hidden touch, every whispered promise ties me closer to a man who may never truly be mine. When that woman returns, will he cast me aside? To him, am I only a lover in the shadows? I've survived being alone before, but this time... will I have the strength to protect my heart? Because the ache of belonging to someone... is sometimes stronger than the will to let go.

After being caught, tried and arrested for a crime she didn't do; Lexi Hunter has a choice. It's either Juvie or spend the summer on her dad's ranch working off her probation. Should be an easy pick, right? Only problem is, she hasn't seen or spoken to her dad in ten years. The last time she saw him was through a car window as her mom drove them and all their possessions away to go live a normal, busy, eccentric lifestyle in New York. So basically, being back at a place she used to call home with a man she can't muster the respect for to actually call 'dad', is a prison sentence in itself. Lexi is determined to hate and ridicule everything about her situation. Wanting nothing more than to get the summer over with so she can go back to real life. That all changes when she meets Dawson Priest; the ranch hand who she is forced to work side by side with. His optimistic, simple, almost eloquent outlook on life, the world, and the small town ranch life in general sparks her to see things from his perspective and may even challenge her enough to mend the strained relationship with her dad. This is a story of self discovery, personal growth, a steamy cowboy fling, and learning the importance of forgiveness. This simple, small town life may not seem as much of a jail sentence by the end of the summer. Who knows, maybe Lexi turns out to be a country girl at heart after all.
