Being the daughter of a wealthy businessman has had plenty of perks for Charisma Isles. Having grown up in a stable home with the best of everything that money could buy, she has all that she could ever want, or so she thinks.

When a homeless stranger comes to her rescue after she is attacked one night on the streets of New York, she is shocked by the huge difference in their circumstances.

After going their separate ways, she is saddened by the idea that she may never see him again. But when their paths cross sooner than she ever thought possible, she finds herself further drawn to the tortured man who is so far from everything that she has always known. 

Stepping into his world teaches her many things, but the biggest lesson of all comes from the realisation that her materialistic lifestyle was missing more than she ever realised, and that the new bond she has with Jake Hardy is the most precious thing she could never buy.
