"To prevent her viperous stepmother from getting everything, Whitney turns to Chase and Ryan, her late father’s protégés." becuase as you know - according to a disturbingly large number of female authors - females are useless unless they have at least one, and in this case two, guys to lend them some worth. So paradoxically, Whitney effectively sells her body to keep what ought to be rightfully hers anyway. It might be even funny if it were not so nauseating. Barf.
