She's in love with her married business partner.
He just hired her for a job.
Neither had any idea what they were getting into.

Marina always knew what she wanted in life: to be a successful private investigator in her adopted country and Kristian Clark. But when he loses everything but gains a wife, she still tries to have both as the business partner to a man who can no longer show his face to the public and has a happy private life.

Everything changes, though, when she takes an off-the-record job from a foreign diplomat, Eitan Cohren who needs her help to find a missing girl. There is a life beyond pining for her first love- but the choice to move on may be beyond her control.
