In the audacious world of business, Nick Sinclair is a legend. President of Global Industries, Nick is a powerful businessman in constant conflict with Philip Whitworth, president of a rival company.

Constantly striving to take the lead, Philip sees the perfect opportunity when the beautiful and intelligent Lauren Danner, a distant relative, seeks his help in finding a job.
With the family's finances in dire straits, Lauren sets out for a new life in Detroit and becomes a key player in Philip's plan. Not only is she hired as Nick's secretary, but she also becomes increasingly close to him.
