Love forces Victor Novak to acknowledge the man beneath the phony façade he has worn since puberty.

Marisol Garcia has more on her mind than a fling with a handsome stranger.

The greed for emeralds is a nasty business. Morals are corrupted; people die. When Victor Novak, a past-his-prime “lady’s companion,” learns he has a brother, a corrupt security guard at a private mine in Bogata, he seizes the opportunity to seek a more lucrative career in emeralds and flies to Colombia, South America for a visit. There, he meets Marisol Garcia, a single mother and talented botanist struggling to raise a teenage son and to save her family’s flower plantation from the man who murdered her father. When his brother talks him into partnering in a smuggling scheme involving Marisol’s prized lilies, Victor must choose between attaining his dream of wealth and privilege and the love he never thought he deserved.
