Victoria Thornton lives in Seattle in a cozy little house and is employed at the job of her dreams. As curator of an art museum, she has left the glamor and glitz of Los Angeles and her mother's high society lifestyle far behind. Her nightly video chats with her beloved daddy are all that tie her to her childhood in a posh mansion in a high-class neighborhood. Then her carefree world is shattered when she gets a phone call from her mother telling her that her father has committed suicide. She rushes back to LA to attend the funeral and help her mother pick up the pieces. Then she learns that all her mother wants from her is to date the man who recently took over her father's failing business-and to take the business back from him by any means possible. Trouble is, Rafael Rivera is an incredibly attractive man, who is as attracted to Victoria as she is to him. Gradually, she begins to find cracks in her mother's story of her father's failing business, who Rafael Rivera is, and even in the suicide itself. Lena, the household cook, is Victoria's only ally whom she can trust and count on. And even Lena holds secrets that will rock Victoria's world.

Victoria Perlite's early life was a constant exercise in misery. Denied by her family and betrayed by her fiancé who preferred her sister, she was the invisible girl-weak, dreamless, and forgotten. Years of quiet ambition followed, culminating in a brilliant corporate career as one of the Work Bank's youngest directors. But Victoria traded the city for serenity, retiring early to cultivate a thriving dairy and livestock farm. Now, she lives a peaceful, purposeful existence among her animals and greenhouses. Her tranquil sanctuary is shattered one day by the unexpected arrival of Franz Horace, her high school crush. Franz, who once snubbed and snickered at her, now stands on her doorstep, asking for a job. His presence forces Victoria to confront the ghosts of her past and the cost of the peace she fought so hard to secure.
