Amber, CEO of the leading cosmetics company, agrees to speak out about pulling her product from the shelves of her largest retailer. She's just getting started exposing corporate giants capitalizing on forced labor. Her actions turn into consequences when the news anchor is shot immediately after her interview. Luckily, the very competent, very sexy Dr. Conner Ross is on the scene and demands that she join him in sneaking this man to safety and saving his life.

Grateful and curious, she's pleasantly surprised at the power, resources, and talent Conner contributes as a member of the Pride. He's offering protection, which she knows better than to accept. The retailer she took down belonged to her ex. This fight is personal, and when her ex is finished with her reputation, Amber will brush herself off and go after the next shady company.

Considering Conner's family bought the business she took down, she needs him, and his spotless reputation, at a distance. When her ex brings on the fight, she realizes there's no distance safe enough for her.
