Arlisa Davenport is one of London jet set's most desired women yet, growing up poor, she knows all too well that being an outsider was like.

At fourteen, the young man who had captured her young heart - the handsome filmmaker and restaurant heir Brad Belleville - had brought that lesson heartbreakingly home when she overheard him mocking her family's poverty.

More than a decade later, Arlisa still holds the bitterness of his words in her heart. But when her pregnant sister is kidnapped, she must turn to Brad for help, and soon discovers that the unfulfilled desire between them is far more alluring - and dangerous - than she'd ever imagined.

As a child, Brad knew the pain of being ignored by his status-seeking mother, and had learned to use arrogance as a defense.

He still mistrusts women, including Arlisa, who is surely only interested in his money and influence. And yet he has never been able to forget the hunger her strength and independence has sparked between them.

Now, as Brad and Arlisa both struggle to resist re-ignited passion, they must confront unexpected enemies and years of doubting each other to create something more valuable than wealth or status ... a love that lasts a lifetime.
