Anandita (Annie) Patel is the toughest person she's ever met. After a decade of slaving away and building her empire, she is now the CEO of one of the most successful companies on this planet, and the richest woman yet. But building a legacy comes with a price; Annie doesn't have time for deep relationships - not family, not friends, and certainly not love. No man is an island, but this woman sure is.

Tristan Walters is about the sweetest, softest guy to exist; at least when you first meet him. With a decade of academia experience, he's the most qualified professional in his field. Now the head of the department of climate sciences at a prestigious university, Tristan has achieved everything he's ever wanted to achieve - so why is he still unhappy?

One thing they both know for sure is that they are the polar opposites of each other in every way that matters (and even ways that don't), and that their relationship in college, that ended after one drunken night Annie doesn't remember, could be summarized in one word: reckless.

So when they meet again several years after they went their separate ways, their pent up frustration leads to a PR scandal that lands them both in hot water; the only solution to which is a new partnership between his department and her company. But is this business deal the only one that will thrive under the circumstances? Or will Annie and Tristan find more in their rekindled partnership? Because nothing says romance like polar opposites.
