Feeling betrayed by her body once again, she avoids relationships to protect her own heart. She can't however avoid fate.

Evan Alexander is a highly sought after photographer. His prized images and dangerous shoots have also made him a very desirable bachelor in the society pages. He is one of two heirs to a diamond jewelers fortune as well as a world class art gallery chain. He doesn't give a damn about any of it. He dropped out of college and decided to do what he loved and not what was expected of him.
He has journeyed the world in search of himself but has never found lasting peace. His few relationships have been short and meaningless and have left him lonelier in the process. His past has taught him to be wary and he doesn't trust easily. He discovered long ago that his life was a total lie and since then he has done everything possible to threaten it. His love for his brother has always restrained him from completely disconnecting from his family. His grandmother however is another story. She has always made it clear that their fortune was not to end with them. She expected them to marry and have children to leave their legacy to. He would never let that happen because he knew that he could never trust someone with his heart again.
