Emily Richards, an aspiring writer in her final year of college has done everything to takes to make it this far. She thinks she's home free when her professor hits her with one of the hardest tasks she has faced- writing a love story. It seems like an easy task, but the ghosts from Emily's past have stopped her from believing in love and she is in desperate need of inspiration.

Max Griffith has met and bedded every type of woman there was. Being twenty-seven years old and the CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country meant he didn't have any time to date and certainly couldn't afford unnecessary distractions like 'love'. Despite the pressure from his family, Max is satisfied with his single life. Until he meets Emily.

When these two cynics meet by chance, it is a clash of hearts from the start as Max finds himself drawn to Emily in ways he has never felt for any woman and Emily finds it impossible to resist the seductive CEO.

Will the level headed writer be able to let go of her past and allow herself to feel again, or will they both allow their reservations about love to hold them back?
