When a wealthy shaving cream magnate’s wife and mistress are forced to cohabitate, they turn a blind eye to each other in order to advance their personal agendas. But when their dream man becomes their nightmare, they’ll need to form a most unlikely alliance in order to not only escape his volatile grasp, but to simply survive his demons.

Lillian Sinclair is shattered when her wealthy entrepreneur father purchases the nascent West Baden Springs Hotel, uprooting her from the only home she’s known. Determined to claim control of her life, Lillian immerses herself in her father’s world by devouring knowledge, strong-arming her way into business meetings, and pushing for responsibility. She represses her need for love, instead climbing the business ladder by rejecting societal expectations and her mother’s marriage demands as she comes of age. When fire destroys twelve years of work, Lillian takes the reins, building the “Eighth Wonder of the World” from the ashes. And yet, success can’t satiate Lillian’s growing sexual awakening or her craving for true emotional connection. After a series of forbidden trysts, Lillian is discovered and forced into a strategic marriage to save her reputation and the birthright she’s worked her whole life to secure. When her dishonest husband takes her far away from her beloved West Baden, Lillian takes desperate measures to regain control of her life and legacy, but her lies soon catch up with her. In the end, she’ll be forced to choose: fight for the rights to West Baden or embrace her long-silenced heart for a chance at real love.
