Tess has recently lost her twin who was serving overseas. She is going through a lot of emotional stuff without her brother at her side helping to run the 3 family restaurants. She is stretched so thin and cannot bare the thought of life going on without her twin. Then one day she attends an auction with her cousin and a laptop belonging to Cole lands in her hands.
Cole is going out of his mind, trying to figure out what happened to his beloved company while he was away. He suspects everyone, even though he considers as his brothers. He is at his wits end when suddenly Tess waltz in with the laptop and of course he is instantly suspicious. Could she be a plant or the thief of his company's plans?
There are some interesting parts of the story. A lot of focus on Tess and her personal opinions on what she believes to be the young soldiers fighting overseas in a senseless war and how she cannot move on from the loss of her brother. It gets a little annoying that Tess constantly goes on and on about her personal opinions and yet doesn't want to listen to the reasons Cole presents and why he chooses to serve and be in the reserve.
