When a family scandal topples the haughty Sloane Huyler from her perch at the forefront of Chicago's elite society, she loses her fianc?, her friends, her reputation and even her family business.

Although his friends warn him off, he believes he can manage Sloane's high and mighty ways. Randall assumes that using his power and influence to salvage her reputation will throw Sloane straight into his arms - and right into his bed. Can Randall out-maneuver the manipulative Sloane? The attraction between the pair is already scorching when Randall starts turning up the heat. But will the icy beauty chill their fiery chemistry when she discovers she is beholden?
