What do a hotshot lawyer and a moonlighting beauty have in common? Not much, but when they have to put their differences aside for a good cause, anything can happen. Maybe even love. Victoria Fairfax wasn't looking for love. Instead, she was hoping to earn enough money to start her own catering business by working nights as a bartender for charity events. However, love might have been looking for her when Jack Turner, a handsome guest, comes to her rescue after a man harasses her on the job. Jack seems like the perfect guy-a successful young lawyer at one of the biggest law firms in the city with charm to spare. The only problem is, Victoria's deep-seated hatred for lawyers. Despite her growing feelings for Jack, she can't bear to get too close to him in case he turns out to be just as rotten as the lawyers from her past. As Jack falls more and more for Victoria, he realizes that his relationship is more complicated than he could have ever imagined, and he faces a difficult choice-to choose between the well-being of one of his clients or his growing feelings for Victoria. Will they unravel the tangled web of their past and present and heal after a lifetime of pain? Or allow their past to keep them apart?
