An arranged marriage was the last thing Zane Williams wanted.
So when duty calls on his wedding day, he walks away before ever meeting his bride.
When he finally returns home, he finds a woman waiting in his house. Assuming she's the housekeeper his mother hired, he doesn't think twice about introducing himself.
Too afraid of being rejected by a husband who never wanted this marriage, Mae Westbrook makes a split-second decision.
She tells him her name is Kate.
Living under the same roof, Zane finds himself falling for the woman he believes is his housekeeper while planning to divorce the wife he's never met. But lies have a way of unraveling, especially when an ex-girlfriend refuses to let go, family secrets begin to surface, and the truth threatens to destroy everything they've built.
Sometimes, the person you're looking for has been right in front of you all along.
