Grant Khambrel, a sexy, successful architect, worked hard to build a thriving business only to have it threatened by a mistake that someone has laid at his door. The man who raised Grant after his parents died made arrangements for Grant to receive the funds necessary to start a lucrative construction company. Soon Grant learns the money came from questionable means with strings attached; strings that took him years to cut and bury. After winning a multi-million dollar contract to renovate the United Center in Chicago, his bid comes under fire when rumors of improper business ethics arise. Grant is blackmailed by a powerful local politician for access and control of something money can't buy, but will cost him everything if he gives in.

Autumn Knight, the beautiful Administrative Director of the United Center, grew up around both sides of Chicago politics. Her father, a local real estate tycoon and powerful Alderman, believes he should financially benefit from the good works he provides to his community. Autumn loves her father, but disagrees with how he operates and refuses to follow his path. Her career requires interaction with the new architect selected by her father's committee. When Grant and Autumn meet, their chemistry is overwhelming, and they're eager to explore their romantic possibilities. Unfortunately, lies and secrets threaten the future they both believe is possible.
