An eight-year heartache.

An eye-opening reunion.

Promises to keep – and protect – at any cost.

From the outside, Jacquie Glenayre seems to have it all. A beautiful and brilliant woman with a successful career in corporate law, nobody could suspect that she harbors a painful secret past filled with tragedy, loss, betrayal, and heartbreak.

When a hunt for her truant sister in the heart of Las Vegas—the original Sin City—in an attempt to fulfill her dying parents' final wish turns into night of passion spent with Ben, the brother of the heir to the Riddley fortune, Harvard student Jacquie wants to put it all behind her. But things take a turn when she falls pregnant, and decides to give up her academic aspirations to raise her son Josh.

Eight years later, Jacquie has completed her education and made a name for herself as a lawyer, when she runs into her one-night stand once again. Sparks fly between them, and although Ben is eager to rekindle their romance, his conniving brother Marshall's plans to blackmail him into a strategic marriage may bring things to a screeching halt.

Can Ben face his dark past and find the courage to pursue the woman he has loved for eight long years? And will Jacquie finally have the life she deserves?
