Marrying for love is an amazing opportunity-one that Kayla Graves doesn't have. She and her family have lost everything, and the only thing that can save them is an arranged union between Kayla and Tripp Ellis, the son of the wealthy and prolific family that employ Kayla's mother as their housekeeper.
Kayla has hated Tripp since childhood. He's the stereotypical snobby rich guy; arrogant, selfish, rude. Still, throughout their engagement, they do as they're told: Smile for pictures, look as happy as possible. When the cameras are gone, they fight ruthlessly. As the wedding day comes and goes, Kayla and Tripp have to figure out how to transform their loveless marriage into a happy one, but this is made harder by the fact that they have absolutely nothing in common. Will they fall in love over time, or are their differences too great?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
