Hunter Palacio knew he was a lonely, cold-hearted businessman along with everyone else. Not that he really cared. He was raised the old fashion way; money meant everything. You married for wealth, not love. Love gives people a false sense of security, yet he seems to have a soft spot for his childhood friend, a musical prodigy by the name of Clarianna Wellington. Clarianna Wellington is the daughter of a rich CEO, just like the women before her, born and bred to get married and have kids. That's it. Forget her fascinating talent of picking up any instrument and playing it. Her talent was worth nothing unless she had a ring on her finger shortly after her birthday. Turning down courtships left and right, her father is getting desperate....and sick. Can Hunter learn to make time for someone else now that his company is taking off? And...maybe find love as well?
