Not everyone is who they appear to be...
After getting kicked out of her home by her abusive father, Zara James had no choice but to make her life completely her own. She moved to Boston, changed her name, got a degree and now works in a seedy bar trying to make ends meet.
She never fit the mold of society's sweetheart in one of the richest families in California so she broke free of it. Only for it to come right back around to bite her on the butt. Desperately trying to keep her past behind her, the secrets and lies keep piling up.
Devin Blake is one of the five Boston Billionaires owning many bars, casinos and restaurants all over the city. A playboy reputation, more money than sense and a seemingly perfect life has this man as one of the city's most eligible bachelors. But he has secrets of his own.
He's intrigued by her. She's captivated by him.
Can these two get past the secrets and lies and give in to what they truly desire? Or will it tear them apart, bit by bit, the more they discover about each other?
