Her Jamaican mother impressed upon her to stay strong and know herself. When her father's greedy business partner feels cheated out of his inheritance and decides to gain access to it by coercing Journey into marriage. Her only choice is to flee. With only one hundred and forty-two days to her twenty-first birthday and her full inheritance, keeping her identity a secret should not be difficult. However, hiding her secrets from her new handsome employer becomes impossible, especially when his once prickly manner turns kind. How is she to resist his devastating charms and abandon him and his daughter when the time comes?
