There she discovers an extravagant party hidden in the most unlikely location. She also meets Sebastian Lock, a gorgeous and commanding man who radiates charm. He represents everything Sophia has promised herself to avoid after past heartbreak. Sebastian refuses to respect her boundaries. The attraction between them proves impossible to resist. He introduces her to pleasures she never imagined she would want. Sebastian keeps famous company and works for secretive employers.
