Angela Tilson has always done what is right.  After an accident that left their mom dead and her sister in a wheelchair, she drops out of college to work so she can pay her sister one growing medical bills.

Her father had disappeared years ago with a hefty gambling debt and she had not heard from him in years until she gets a phone call telling her of his passing in a nursing home.  Going there to retrieve his little belongings, she finds a safe deposit key.

Angela goes to the bank and finds in the safety box a letter from her dad saying he is sorry and a #500,000 insurance policy but the benefactor is  Antonio Mancini a mysterious fashion mogul.  She goes to his office and confronts him.  He tells her the house she thought was paid off also belongs to him and that is just the tip of the money her dad owes him as he then offers her a job as his assistance which she at first resists but ends up needing when she gets fired from her waitressing job.

Antonio is rather attractive and is always in control.  He has his own secrets as he keeps her on her toes as they attend functions together,  Angela finds herself falling for him despite herself and when her sister needs an expensive surgery, she turns to him knowing this will further in debt.


He offers to pay for the surgery, if she goes on a cruise with him but what does that really mean?  Is she about to sell herself to him to seal the day?
