To support her struggling family, Lacie Collins slaves as the under-appreciated personal assistant to the spoiled Mavis Reddington.

He's the sort of man she could come to depend on -- and nothing scares Lacie more.

Alden admires Lacie's integrity and dedication to her family. He wants to help her make a better life for them -- a life he can share. Her refusal to trust him is like a slap in the face. Alden doesn't know how to break down the walls around Lacie's heart, but he's not about to back down from the challenge.
