Alisha Olivia Lawrence spent years building a career to have it end in minutes. She was drowning her sorrows when Parker Halston walked in the Gold Strand Hotel. They were introduced at the Brass Key awhile back, now, whenever their paths cross something happens. Parker was charming and successful. It was only infatuation, but Alisha wanted to put her desires first.

Parker didn't expect to see Alisha sitting alone in the lounge. She wasn't in the mood for conversation. He gave her space. Alisha responded later with a note and a drink. Parker was willing to leave his uninvited company to spend time with her. Alisha was in distress. Parker's interruption ended with a heated kiss. It didn't matter if the guy was still standing there. Alisha agreed to meet in his suite. Parker didn't have a problem pleasing her, but things change when he sees Alisha at Lennox with another man.
