When pressured to marry, Sarah Miller, a maid, becomes Ramsey Blackwell's unexpected choice. But as he begins to genuinely care for her, he must decide if she's more than an option.
* * *
Sarah and Ramsey are complete opposites. She works as a maid, while he is the son of her wealthy employers. Suddenly, Ramsey Blackwell proposes marriage to her. Flustered and unsure of how to react, Sarah dismisses his proposal as an impulsive and expensive joke. His mother, too, believes it's just another one of his whims. However, Ramsey remains committed, much to their surprise.
Sarah finds it hard to understand why he would choose someone like her. Nothing about her stands out - not her name, background, or looks. For years, her focus has always been on her family and their needs. Despite her reservations, Ramsey persuades her by highlighting the benefits of their union, perhaps it would finally silence his mother's constant nagging to settle down.
Caught in a swirl of emotions, Sarah ventures into a world vastly different from hers. Yet, she grapples with deeper anxieties: Is Ramsey's kindness and affection genuine, or is she just a convenient option for him?

Tara Carpenter never wanted to leave Woodsboro like this: old into a marriage she didn't choose, sent to New York under her mother's cruel arrangement. But if this deal means tuition, a future, and freedom from the home she hates...she'll take it, even if it means becoming the wife of Amber Freeman.
Amber Freeman is the quiet heir to an old-money empire, with whispers of mafia ties clinging to her family name. But she isn't what Tara expected. No cold commands, no threats. Just silence. Distance. A marriage of convenience with carefully drawn lines...and a wife who keeps her promises. Tara has freedom. Her own room. Her own life.
But something stirs in the quiet spaces between them. Soft tea in the kitchen at midnight. Thoughtful gifts left without a word. Amber watches without speaking, guards without touching. And slowly, Tara wonders what lies behind those guarded eyes. And why the most dangerous woman in New York treats her like something precious.
What started as survival becomes something neither of them planned. Maybe even something real.
