Ginnie was the treasured daughter of one of Stonebridge’s four great families-the Lyte family. She had just returned from studying abroad, and since taking over part of the family business, her exceptional talent in the corporate world had been widely recognized.

Lucas, on the other hand, was the head of Hawthorne Corp-young, capable, and ruthless in business. By all appearances, they were a perfect match: beauty and brains, power and prestige.
