Valerie Dunaway is a former socialite who has hidden from the public eye for years due to a horrific attack that left her scarred-physically and emotionally. When a strange masked man makes himself at home with her, she's unable to run. She calls the cops, but the agoraphobic won't go into protective custody, so Detective Hollerman calls the only people he trusts: Pierce Securities.
Quinten Pierce is a Renaissance man-artist, lawyer, fighter-but his latest assignment has him losing his ever-present control. He's got one fight left in his career, and although he can't wait for it to be over, his opponent seems to have ties to Valerie, thus forcing him to hold on until he finds out exactly who he's working with.
With the help of the Pierce team, the scarred princess and the gentle giant must silence the murmurs of the past that threaten their future.
