A shy young woman arrives in Los Angeles desperate for work, and through a white lie lands a governess position with the elegant architect Alfred Rampion—a man she's instantly drawn to. When she discovers he's still devoted to the memory of his beautiful late wife, she realizes she may be competing for his heart with someone far more powerful than any living rival.

When Helen Foster's fiancé Chris Lockwood disappears with her life savings in a stock swindle, she vows off romance forever and joins the police force to hunt him down—only to find herself drawn into the dangerous orbit of Frank Kennard, the city's most elusive crime boss, who claims he wants nothing more than her heart. As Helen navigates a web of undercover work, suspicious motives, and her own guarded defenses, she discovers that the line between duty and desire may be far harder to hold than she imagined.
