Sydney Jordan is at the prime of her working age yet she is barely groping the whole world in her hands. Stuck with her family in the suburban area of Washington even after finishing college, she wants to live the life she dreams. She wants to be free and independent. She wants to explore the world in her own pace, without her nosy family egging on her every decision.

After convincing her parents that she will pursue her lifelong dream of becoming part of the Atkins Medical Institute, she finally starts a new chapter in her life, letting go of the past.

Adapting in a fast-paced environment, what she thought was the life she had wanted since her childhood; she now begins to realize she isn’t actually living her dream. Not until her not-so-memorable encounter with the hot and handsome resident architect of Atkins Medical Institute, David Bryce.

Will she still choose her career over love this time or will she actually realize that there is more to life than any immaterial possessions?

AN OPPOSITES ATTRACT ROMANCE WITH BITE! **** 'Do you feel that? That's the sound of an alive heart. I don't know what it is about you, Candice, but something inside me knows - or scratch that - demands, that if I saw more of you, maybe it would be beneficial.' **** Sweet-tempered London girl Candice Carroll has big dreams. When an ill-tempered young man bursts into her pastry chef father's modest bakery one day, she can't help but wonder what is the cause of his sour mood. She makes it her aim to bring some cheer and fun into his life. Zachary Malone is used to having his own way. Whether that be with girls, drink or career ambitions. When he has his eye on something, he strikes bulls-eye. Unfortunately for him, Candice is someone he can't possess.

Meet Sydney Hughes. Even though she's a knockout, she hasn't had a steady boyfriend since college. She's been too busy tending bar at her dad's neighborhood pub since her mom died a few years ago. Though she has a degree in hotel management, she enjoys helping her dad with the business. Her infectious smile, sense of humor, and lively showmanship pack the bar every weekend. Enter Alexios Verga, co-CEO the Midas Touch, the latest hotel and casino to crowd on to the Las Vegas Strip. While his brother runs the hotel, Alexios is responsible for the casino and entertainment. Which aren't doing particularly well, since he prefers to frequent the Strip's lounges with his latest hottie instead of manage the business. Until Daddy lowers the boom: raise the hotel bar's revenues or start taking orders from his younger brother. The first time Alexios enters Jimmy's Bar it's so crowded he can barely get inside. It obviously has something he hasn't thought of for his casino lounge. And that something turns out to be Sydney Hughes. Alexios is fascinated with Sydney's ability to take drink orders, schmooze with the patrons, and and entertain using flamboyant moves more in keeping with a magician than a bartender. It also doesn't hurt that he's drawn to her fresh, girl-next-door looks and personality, so unlike with whom he normally surrounds himself. But when he makes her a lucrative job offer she flatly turns him down, unimpressed by his good looks or his credentials. Unused to rejection, he goes around her back. Now that Sydney works for Alexios, she's even more the ice queen where he's concerned. And he finds himself obsessed with the sexy bartender, thinking of her morning, noon, and night. Is Alexios capable of changing his playboy ways and winning Sydney's trust? Or will this be his last call?

When Sydney Sherwood was thirteen, she fell in love. She was utterly enamoured with Carter Pearson - the cute, enigmatic, brilliant fourteen year old who lived across the street. But, after only a few months, Carter and his family disappeared, leaving behind a 'House For Sale' sign and one broken-hearted girl. Six years later, Sydney is beginning a year abroad at Yale University, over 3000 miles from her home in England. A chance at a blank slate, a leap into the unknown. That is, until she stumbles across Carter himself in line at a campus coffee shop. They're half the world away from where they met and just as far from the people they used to be. But sometimes, it seems, the universe has a plan of its own. And for Sydney and Carter, that means their story isn't over yet, whether they like it or not.
