Lia won't let anyone, especially herself, feel sorry for her. Six years as a street kid in New York forced her to grow up fast, with an exterior so hard even she believes it can't be cracked. She has no one to trust or rely on, save the one person who has always been there; herself. Until an unlikely, and highly illegal, situation crosses her path with world famous, multi-billionaire hotelier and playboy; James "Jett" Sage. A man with demons of his own finds he has trouble letting the feisty little girl with fire in her eyes and venom on her tongue go without a fight.
