Cordelia Kane has lived her entire life believing her mother died in a car accident when she was two. Her father raised her alone, and she adored him for it. When he suffers a severe heart attack, he reveals a shocking truth about her mother that changes everything Cordelia thought she knew. The answers she needs lie halfway around the world in Sydney, Australia. Aiden Madison, a hotel magnate and her best friend's older brother, gets pressured into letting her join his business trip there on his company jet. Cordelia has harbored feelings for Aiden for years, though he remains completely unaware. Their journey becomes dangerous when Congressman Chambers decides to target Aiden for refusing to buy his overpriced land.
