Knox Bentley has never cared for the pomp that comes with wealth. He walked away from his pretentious family and their fortune as a young man and carved out his own success, yet even with the world at his fingertips he has begun to sense that something is missing. After a long stretch overseas, he finally understands what it is: his no-strings hookups with Aubrey Stewart are no longer enough. Aubrey is an exquisite, stubbornly independent businesswoman with a new movie channel on the horizon and precious little time for anything else. She and Knox connect on every level, but she is the one deal his billions cannot close, the rare prize his money cannot buy. Now that he is back in the States, Knox is determined to prove that what they share reaches far beyond the bedroom, and to finally make Aubrey his. She, meanwhile, guards her freedom and her ambitions fiercely, unwilling to trade the empire she is building for a man who could upend it all. Set amid the big-hearted Braden and Montgomery families, their charged, slow-to-surrender romance asks whether two fiercely independent people can make room for each other.
