When Ciara Ward's father mysteriously disappears, she is forced to reconnect with her estranged family, and is then faced with the impossible task of saving her family's empire from bankruptcy.
With her family's business teetering on the brink of financial ruin, all hope seems lost until an unexpected lifeline, worth millions of dollars, appears. However, what she does not expect is for her saving grace to be in the form of Jonathan McGuire; a man she had once abandoned.
Now a multimillionaire with his own agenda, Jonathan offers Ciara a deal that she cannot refuse. His terms are clear; a contract that would bind the both of them in a fake relationship in exchange for the investment that she desperately needs.
As they traverse the fabricated waters of their charade, buried emotions resurface and sparks fly, reigniting a passion they thought was long gone. Alongside these, old wounds are reopened and secrets, which were long buried, start to come to surface, threatening to undo all that they have built together.
Soon, Ciara is torn between staying and fleeing, and she must make a choice between confronting her past or, once more, walking away from it all. Jonathan must find a way to help heal her fractured past and forge a future together with Ciara.
Can he hold onto her this time, or will history repeat itself as she slips through his grasp once again?
