Alana is a twenty-two year old girl living away from her parents in LA. Her father is a billionaire who runs the greatest tech company in the United States, PyroCon, who Alana ran away from when she was eighteen when she got tired of her father deciding her entire life for her. When her father's company threatens to go under though, she is called back home by her parents to help save the company. When she learns that she will have to marry the son of one of the most powerful billionaires in the world, she is against the idea. When she realizes that the man she will be marrying is her childhood rival and tormentor, Andrew Haynes, she outright refuses. Her parents convince her to try the marriage though, for her entire empire will go under and her sister's future will be ruined if she doesn't accept. Will she last the five month engagement and the two year marriage that Andrew's father has planned? Or will she walk away from the only man she's ever truly loved, and the empire her father has worked so hard to build?
