Rich, beautiful, intelligent, Ella Cruise can have everything she wants...except passion, companionship...a lover. Suppressed memories from childhood haunt her, making even the simplest contact with those around her uncomfortable. But loneliness haunts her as well. One night, she meets a sexy, blond-haired Scotsman with a brogue that makes her melt and a smile that makes her burn. But her friend, ever eager to help her find a way to hook up, warns her off. Not him, honey...he's a professional. Upon realizing her friend means the man's a prostitute, Ella finds herself all the more intrigued. A prostitute-she could be in control. Call the shots, right? The more she thinks about it, the more appealing the idea sounds and she approaches him with a proposition...and a contract. One month. That's all she wants. And in the end, he gets more money than he ever dreamed of while she hopes to break free of her own self-made cage of loneliness. But neither planned on falling in love.
