Michael Alesi is not looking for anything other than a good time. He works hard and plays even harder. But after being summoned to the home of his cousin, Piero, Michael is blindsided by Piero's sister-in-law, the feisty, Kendra Washington. Kendra is beautiful and sassy, and she seems to want nothing to do with Michael. That is fine with Michael -- he doesn't do relationships and he has plenty of business and social opportunities to keep him busy. Then he witnesses Kendra's life being put in danger by a nasty crime. He comes to her rescue and, as he gets to know her, he decides that maybe a committed relationship isn't so bad after all.
Kendra is in town to visit her sister Adanna at the request of her brother-in-law, Piero Alesi. Upon arriving on her sister's doorstep, she comes face-to-face with the ever-elusive Michael Alesi. Kendra, immediately senses his ‘I'm sexy, and I know it' aura that all the Alesi men seem to possess. Not wanting anything to do with him, she decides to steer clear. One too-wild a night on the town changes that game plan, and Kendra finds herself held firmly in the arms of the man she'd wanted to avoid.
Just as they are feeling their way toward a relationship, a whirlwind of deadly events sends life spiraling out of control for both Michael and Kendra. Will they be able to find shelter in each other's arms, or will the demons of both the past and the present keep them apart forever?
