Michael Reynolds is the perfect heir to his family's vast commercial empire. Calm and exacting, he never lets himself go, not even during sex. Until a mysterious stranger's wild seduction and impromptu striptease has him rethinking the benefits of losing some of his legendary control.

Vanny Donald is an oil driller, like her father was—before he was fired on a trumped-up charge of sabotage. Disguised as "Shelly", she seduces Michael to gain access to his apartment and steal some files. Vanny wants payback for her father. What "Shelly" gets is a night of no-holds-barred sex and the personal satisfaction of making Michael Reynolds lose control.

When Michael arrives to inspect Vanny's oil rig, she doesn't know what worries her more—that he'll recognize her or that he won't. Some real sabotage in the form of a bomb onboard has Michael soon discovering that his sullen young tour guide is also his mysterious, seductive Shelly. So he offers her another job—as his mistress.
