Dorothy-Anne Hale-Cantwell stands on top of the world, ready to open the crown jewel in the prestigious luxury hotel empire. Heiress, wife, mother of three and keeper of the keys to one of the world's largest privately held corporations, she is rich beyond her dreams and one of the privileged few - until disaster strikes.
In the space of a few days she suffers personal tragedy and struggles against a treacherous underworld cabal. Only the intervention of the charismatic but married politician Hunt Winslow offers hope, yet their illicit passion could destroy everything Dorothy-Anne holds most precious - the company she has toiled to build, and her innermost secret desire for second love.
