Synopsis

The seductive secrets, deepest desires, and dangerous temptations of the forbidden Wilcox sister come to light when Roxy is kicked out of the Manhattan town house. Introduced to the tantalizing world of high-class escorts, Roxy will be taught how to walk, talk, and dress to seduce, polished, and perfected in the art of satisfying the world's wealthiest men. When tragedy reunites Roxy and Emmie, with secrets between sisters bind them together-- or tear them apart forever? Roxy Wilcox has always been rebellious and defiant, unlike her sweet, obedient younger sister, Emmie. After sixteen years of trying to discipline Roxy, their father snaps and kicks her out of their Manhattan town house. Alone in the city, Roxy must find a way to make it big and show them all.
