Troubled, yet confident, Alyssa Berry has the unfortunate combination of having a dying mother and very little money. Without the money and support Alyssa and her family need there is no hope to save her mother. What doesn't help are the constant fights between her father and brother and the lack of love there once was within the household.
Then again, neither does the cocky, attractive, millionaire, Zack Valladares, who is constantly finding himself trying to fix her broken heart, although for her, in the worst way possible. Try as he might, Alyssa is not so sure of this arrogant man and refuses to be the damsel in distress to his knight in shinning armour.
What he doesn't know is that Alyssa is hiding more then just a dying mother. She has secrets that begin to kill her, inside and out. Secrets that she will never reveal.
