Your life isn't your own when it's built on secrets and lies.

Nicola has a normal life, filled with friends, a family that loves her, and the usual ups and downs.

Then she's kidnapped.

But her abductor isn't your run-of-the-mill kidnapper. He acts like he knows her. He calls her by another name. And when they're attacked, he protects her with his life.

Franco has a very difficult job. He's tasked with protecting a strong-willed heiress from a deadly conspiracy that has plagued her entire life.

But has he grabbed the wrong woman?

A woman whose feisty nature and insistence that she's not his heiress have him on edge and off his game.

With menace nipping constantly at their heels, Franco and Nicola must quickly put aside their differences and forge an alliance to stop the shadowy group that pursues them. But circumstances might build something much greater than an alliance between them, as distrust turns to affection and need transforms into something neither one of them is prepared to ignore.
