Beautiful, ruthlessly ambitious, intelligent, and successful businesswoman Catherine Black lives a life of luxury in an architectural dream house in Malibu with exclusive designer fashions, fast cars, and exquisite jewelry.

But he has no idea that after a night of partying and passion, he is really just on her menu to be her next victim… until real romance gets in the way.
