The narrative of this book entwines the lives of Ronan and Daisy. Ronan stands as the most affluent member of the club, while Daisy serves as a waitress with a purposeful mission. Tragedy struck Daisy a few years ago when she lost her mother to cancer, and now she harbors a secret that threatens to unravel the budding relationship with Ronan. The opening chapters delve into the origins of the club's funding.

This novel spices up the romance genre with its content, yet it steers clear of darkness. As the fifth installment in the series, it offers a self-contained story, allowing new readers to dive in without prior knowledge of the earlier books. However, those seeking depth in character development and club history will find value in the series' continuity. Set two years after the inaugural book, this chapter maintains the series' trademark wit and charm, evident in its clever and humorous chapter titles.
