I, Derek Rosewood, will never marry. Never. Again. After a recent disastrous divorce, the most precious things I have are my daughter, career and single life. As a lawyer by profession, I am happily married to my job, saving the drama for the courtroom and keeping women at arm's length. This is the only way their fragile precious hearts will be safe. Besides, I am not able to offer them the love or attention that they are so desperate to get from me. I am not at all the kind of man they want to have next to them. Believe me. Not after what I've been through. That is, until I was appointed financial guardian to a mysterious heiress who turned my world upside down and made me forget about my personal and professional priorities. We are completely wrong for each other. Emotionally closed. Fierce. Exhausted. My duty is to look after her interests, to protect them. Feelings should not have arisen between us. And for that reason, I will invoke the Fifth Amendment.
