Megan was forced to serve champagne at an elite masquerade gala to settle her abusive stepfather's gambling debts, only to be spiked with an illicit stimulant by manipulative event organizers. Fleeing into an empty VIP lounge to escape predators, she encounters Ewan Riley, a reclusive billionaire heir who suffers from severe trauma-induced tactile aversion.
To both of their astonishment, Megan's touch brings Ewan soothing relief rather than visceral panic, leading to an intense night of passion before Megan flees with only his tie. When Megan discovers she is carrying his child, Ewan launches an exhaustive citywide search to find the one woman his body and soul crave.
