In Newford high society, Serena Sinclair grew up under the long-term guardianship of the Whitmore family. Her attachment to Nathan Whitmore was seen by outsiders as 'crossing the line,' and five years ago she was sent to London. Upon her return, she handled two crises as the head of operations at Northstar Aero: stolen technical plans and Richard Whitmore being framed, while working alongside Holden Ashford, president of Ashford Defense Systems, to track down the evidence. What she doesn't know is that Holden has liked her since she was 17 and has quietly been watching over her all these years. Faced with family trusts, boardroom interests, and media pressure, Serena has to figure out the difference between attachment, gratitude, and true love.
