Alex is finally getting somewhere in her life, after working hard she is awaiting the results from her bar exams and working a summer associate position at a top law firm in Chicago. Work is busy and full-on but she knows she needs to keep her head down and free of distractions – especially men!

A last-minute trip to the store to grab essentials leads to her locked in an ATM vestibule with a handsome stranger she spotted in the store. Emerson is that handsome stranger and after chatting and playing games to pass the time they share a kiss before heading their separate ways. However, when she is woken up by building noise from the bottom floor of her building, she discovers not only is it co-owned by Emerson but that it is going to be a bar.

With her firm being traditional, they have made it clear that she should be bringing a partner to the next work function. Step in Emerson to be the arm-candy that she needs, however, it is clear that he is already known in these circles as part of Chicago’s well-to-do families – not that he wishes to be part of all that.

Despite attempting to keep things at arm's length, they find each other very much in each other's arms. Although will Alex’s job and Emerson’s family cause issues?
