Alayna Withers has her life mapped out after earning her MBA. She'll advance at the nightclub where she works and avoid romantic entanglements that could trigger her obsessive love disorder. Stalking and restraining orders belong in her past. Then Hudson Pierce buys the nightclub. He's wealthy, intelligent, and attractive. He wants Alayna in his bed and makes his intentions clear. When Hudson offers her a business deal she cannot refuse, Alayna gets pulled deeper into his world. She discovers Hudson carries his own dark history. Their damaged pasts create a web of mistrust and secrets. Alayna seeks guidance from Celia, the woman Hudson nearly married, but this alliance reveals information that threatens their relationship. As Alayna and Hudson attempt to build something real together, broken promises and hidden truths test their bond. Alayna must decide if she can forgive Hudson's deceptions and whether their love can overcome the scars they both carry.
