Catherine Vergara a accepté l’invitation d’une amie à une soirée, juste pour éviter d’assister au mariage de sa cousine, celle qui l’a trahie avec son ex. Lors de cette soirée, elle a vécu une brève rencontre avec un inconnu… et est tombée enceinte d’un homme dont elle ignorait tout, qu’elle ne pourrait jamais retrouver. Pourtant, le souvenir de cet inconnu ne l’a jamais quittée. Jusqu’au jour où elle a commencé à travailler comme assistante pour Alexandre Miller, un PDG aussi séduisant que stressé et impatient. Mais Alexandre ne voulait rien avoir à faire avec elle. Il était obsédé par une femme qui s’était volatilisée.

One hot night with a total stranger! Hindi inasahan ni Isabelle Montecillo na ito ang magiging sanhi ng malaking pagbabago sa kanyang buhay. Matapos pagtaksilan ng kanyang ex at pinsan, ay nakipagsapalaran siya sa isang misteryosong lalaki—ang gabing pinagsaluhan nila ay nag-iwan ng higit pa sa alaala. She got pregnant, and to make things worse, she didn’t know who the father was! Makalipas ang dalawang taon, nakakuha si Isabelle ng trabaho bilang advisor ng isang napakastrikong CEO na si River Dela Merced—isang lalaking may reputasyon sa pagiging maldito, mapusok, at nakakainis na gwapo. Malinaw ang prinsipyo niya: ayaw niyang makipagrelasyon sa kanya o kanino man—maliban na lang kung ito ang babaeng bigla na lang nawala sa kanyang buhay. Ngunit tila ba may plano ang tadhana. Habang lumalalim ang kanilang pagtutunggali sa trabaho, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob nila sa isa't isa. At nang magsimulang magtugma ang mga bakas ng nakaraan, may isang katotohanang nag-aabang… posible kayang si River Dela Merced ang misteryosong lalaki noong gabing iyon? At kapag nalaman niya ang lihim ni Isabelle, masisira kaya ang lahat—o magiging daan ito upang tanggapin nila ang pag-ibig na matagal nang itinatakwil?

Follow and carry out the rules the Floros' had given him—watch the kid, keep him out of trouble, and collect a generous paycheck. But Layland Floros is anything but a kid. Beautiful, bold, and entirely too provocative for his own good, Layland isn’t interested in being watched. With a bratty attitude that dares Gunner to break every boundary he’s set for himself when he's on the job, Layland turns a simple assignment into something far more dangerous. Gunner's never been with a man. Never even thought about it—until Layland. Now, every moment in that house is thick with tension, with heat that hums just beneath the surface. The more Gunner tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore what he was really feeling towards the young man. Soon, duty gives way to desire, and Gunner finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn’t. But when the chemistry between them explodes into something real and raw, he’ll have to face the truth: babysitting Layland and carrying out the young man's parents' rules was never the hard part. Staying away from him is. And if Layland's parents find out what really happened behind the closed doors of their home, Gunner could lose more than just the job.
