The show was produced by Twentieth Television, based on the 2004 TV Azteca series La Heredera ("The Heiress").

[1] This limited-run serial follows the title character, Elizabeth Wakefield, played by Alicia Leigh Willis, from steamy rain forests to the high-stakes business world.

After a terrifying crash in the family jet, the heiress falls in love with a fellow survivor, a hard-edged former Air Force pilot named JD Bruce (Carter MacIntyre).

Head writer Colet Abedi said she added "bitchy dialogue and fight scenes" to the original Mexican story.

MyNetworkTV announced plans to run this show and Saints & Sinners once per week until October,[5][6] with the remaining episodes appearing online.
