Hope Baker is the ultimate girl boss. She's running her uncle's brewery and building a commercial real estate empire. At twenty-two, she's a billionaire who answers to no one. Her philosophy is simple. Never apologize and never explain yourself.

Grayson Mayne is a formal SEAL and the new assistant brewmaster at The Baker's Dozen Brewing Company. He likes women quiet, submissive, and disposable. When he runs into the young heiress, he has no idea what she's about to do to his world. Grayson quickly learns that you can't hold onto a girl like Hope. You have to handle her.

After a disastrous date with a guy from the coffee shop, Hope goes to her friend and neighbor, Grayson, for support. As the weeks that follow unfold, Hope finds herself in danger from a stalker, small-town gossip, and a relationship she doesn't fully understand.

Can Hope and Grayson overcome the challenges they must face to keep Hope alive? Can Hope relinquish power to find completeness? And is Grayson strong enough to handle the oldest of the Baker girls?
