So, after the hangover wears off, and she strolls into the office Monday morning, imagine her surprise when the mysterious stranger just happens to be a Mr. Cayden James Gates - founder and Managing Director of CJ Industries - and he's more than a little intrigued by his beautiful new payroll, even though she is about as responsive as an icicle - especially when she realises that the one thing you can't run from is your shadow, and her family ties start to choke her. Will she overcome her demons to step back into temptation with an open heart, or is he a serpent in a brand new Eden? And as the stakes climb higher, how willing will he be to fight for her without his own dark secrets stepping out from behind the curtains?
