Adrian Diaz is many things: popular, millionaire, jock, and attractive. One thing he never thought he'd be was vulnerable. However, when his maid of nearly two years-Penelope, a seventeen year old girl working for money to help her family-catches his eye, he's full of blushing, nervous laughs, and seemingly strange feelings toward her.

He tries to ignore Penelope and these emotions, yet whenever he sees her, he loses and forgets all of the many things he is. As he tries to stand up for himself and push the forbidden feelings away, the maid and her graceful actions push him down.

Will Adrian be able to make the maid fall for him, just as much as he fell for her?
