The saying goes “from rags to riches”, but what happens when the riches turn to rags? For young Cyndi, life was perfect and everything was going according to plan. That was until the unexpected death of her father. Life as she knew it, would never be the same. From her step mother and sisters treating her like she was the help, to having a job where she was hanging on by a thread. Everything seemed to be going downhill and Cyndi was ready to give up on it all. Until, her friend Janice convinced her to let go of her inhibitions and attend a masquerade ball where she encountered August. August Caron was on the top of his game. One of the most sought out lawyers in the city, so it was no surprise when he was put up for Senior Partner. His track record and high end clients afforded him the luxuries to have anything he wanted. Except the proper love life. With August being forced to bring someone to meet the partners, he attends the masquerade ball with hopes of finding someone he could tolerate for the night. What he wasn’t expecting was to be blindsided by the wave of emotions he felt when he met Cyndi. Everything was going perfectly, until she disappeared on him. Literally. August goes on a hunt to find the girl that stole his heart in one night, only to find out secrets from the past, lies, damaged souls, and unforeseen enemies may keep them apart.
