Cassie Hamilton is the only child of parents who were murdered when she was young, and she's spent most of her life grieving their loss. The murderer has not been caught and re-enters her life angrier and with definite plans for her. And she has no idea who it is. At twenty-two, she's determined to live life out loud and an aspiring actress, has moved to London after graduating Yale. While at Yale, she'd roomed with Esme, younger sister to British CEO, Tony Carleton, the man Cassie believes is meant for her if only he'd learn to go with his gut.

Cassie's a bit spoiled (courtesy of a doting uncle), daring, determined and headstrong. She wants two things in life: Tony Carleton and her career. Tony's the oldest son of a British Lord and Lady. He works hard and is trying to prove himself capable of running the company that's been in his family for generations. He's circumspect (but not stuffy), responsible, headstrong and determined – especially to NOT get involved with a "bloody chit" who's fourteen years his junior. No matter how attractive, stimulating and fascinating he finds her. It wouldn't be right...would it?
