Flat broke and teetering on the edge of disaster, Shelby Watson can't say no to a surprising job offer: caring for a rich, elderly woman, but the interview turns out to be way more intense than she ever imagined. She's grilled by Michael Jameson, the woman's notoriously private and brooding billionaire grandson, and his cold stare and sharp tongue leave her completely rattled, making her seriously question if enduring his impossible arrogance is even worth it. With literally no other choice, she takes the gig, bracing herself for whatever crazy demands he'll inevitably make.

But then something totally unexpected happens: Michael's harsh attitude suddenly melts away, replaced by this unsettling charm that completely throws her off balance and leaves her breathless. His touch starts to linger, his eyes burn with an intensity she can't ignore, and those rare smiles? They're almost shockingly tender, leaving her to wonder what the heck he's hiding behind that mysterious front.

As Shelby starts digging into the dark and complicated layers of Michael's past, she slowly realizes that getting too close might actually blow both their lives apart, but how can she possibly fight against a guy who's an intoxicating mix of pure danger and irresistible desire? In this crazy world where massive power clashes with intense passion, Shelby's got to make an impossible call: does she bail out and stay safe, or does she risk everything to uncover the mind-blowing truth?
