When country girl Miranda Jennings leaves behind quiet fields and sunsets for the glass towers of the city, she's determined to start over - no pity, no pain, no past. Her new job as personal secretary to powerful businessman Tony Barthese is her chance at stability and dignity after surviving years of emotional and physical abuse.
But she doesn't expect his son - Marcello Barthese, poised heir to a luxury empire - to look at her the way he does. He's everything she's not: sleek, untouchable, the kind of man women orbit around. Yet behind that control lies a secret - he's drawn to curves, to kindness, to women like her.
What begins as awkward encounters and stolen glances turns into something deeper, something dangerous... because in his world, love like hers doesn't belong.
And in hers - love like his might break her all over again.
