On the surface, Wolfe has it all: good looks, a bit of fame thanks to his modelling career, and plenty of money. But haunting memories from his past keep him at a distance from everyone in his life, except for Genevieve, with whom he's forged a deep friendship over the years. But in his mind, Gen is completely off limits in all ways, and he's content to bury any desire he may have for her and keep himself as her friend and confidante. Genevieve has been working toward a career as a paediatrician for her whole life. It's her family's dream for her to follow in her older brother's footsteps, and she's always been the good one in the family, the obedient one who makes her parents proud. It's always been easier for her to follow the rules than to break them.

In a bold move, Genevieve makes an offer to take their friendship into the bedroom on strict terms. Just sex. Wolfe is shocked at her offer, but too tempted not to take it. He agrees, convincing himself one night in her bed will finally exorcise his lust but allow him to retain her friendship. But both learn that their "no strings attached" pact is more complicated than they ever could have imagined when they discover that deeper feelings are buried beneath their passion...
