One night in Vegas was a mistake. Ten months later, it's the only thing keeping them alive.
Dr. Victoria "Tori" Paisley is a woman of logic and medicine, but she made one very illogical move: she got blackout drunk in Vegas and woke up married to a stranger. That stranger is Donte Reed, a cold-hearted billionaire with a reputation as an arrogant "dick" and a brother who has already leaked their "happily ever after" to the press to save the family's corporate image.
Tori doesn't want Donte's money-she just needs to save her seven-year-old sister, Esme, who is fighting a rare childhood lung tumor. When Donte offers to pay for Esme's life-saving surgery in exchange for Tori staying married to him for eighteen months, she has no choice but to sign her life away to a man she can't stand.
But as the "sham" marriage continues, the walls between them begin to crumble. Behind Donte's icy exterior is a man who would give up a kidney to save the woman he's accidentally fallen in love with. Just as Tori realizes she's carrying his child and is ready to admit her own feelings, a shadow from Donte's past strikes with lethal intent.
After a near-fatal "accident" leaves Tori with a fractured skull and a missing memory, Donte is forced to play a dangerous game. To lure out the psycho ex-lovers who want Tori dead, he must do the one thing that might destroy her forever: make her believe he's back to his old, cheating ways.
In a war of love, lies, and obsession, can Donte protect his family without losing the only woman who truly owns his heart?
