Sadie Rodgers is just an ordinary teacher who loves her small town life. But that all changes when her parents set her up on an online dating app after her fiance cheated and left her for a rich girl. She appreciates their effort to help, but there's only one problem. While her parents only want what's best for her, they have one weakness; they can't seem to set her up with the right men. All the dates she'd gone on were with decent, good looking men, but they were all rich workaholics that would barely be a part of her life. But it was the last man, California billionaire Lloyd Jackson, who was the final straw, disrespecting her small town life and elementary school job. Instead, he wants her as his secretary and wife. When she refuses, it causes a rift between her and her family, and erupts an argument that she needs a long drive to fix. Little does she know though, America's biggest crime lord, Garrett Parker, has a beef with Lloyd Jackson, and she's the way to get to him. Garrett sends his son, Colton, to kidnap and kill Sadie, but Sadie is relieved to know that Colton is with the FBI, working undercover to finally put his father away. Colton knows the best way to ensure her safety is to get her to Lloyd, who has some of the best security in the country, but can't help the unprofessional feelings he starts to grow for her along the way. Will they make it to California safely? And will Colton Parker be able to let go of the only woman to ever love him while he faces his father?
