When Julia Stern is offered an exclusive interview with Russian billionaire Yulian Gornakov, she jumps at the chance. Probing deeply into the young oligarch's life and suspected ties with the Russian Mob, however, she incurs the wrath of the man, and soon finds herself out of a job, her promising career in ruins. Yulian, enjoying a long overdue vacation aboard a cruise liner sailing the Caribbean, never expected to bump into the same pesky reporter against whom he filed a restraining order. This time, however, he finds it impossible to get rid of her, or the sudden soaring passion she provokes in him.
