Este Knight used to dream of the perfect man. One who was kind and protected her from the cruel behavior of the world. That was when she was young and optimistic and sweet.
When a stranger offers her a deal too good to pass up, she decides that a fake marriage will benefit her.
Owen Swift is known as one of the biggest playboys in the city. The public just sees a rich kid who drinks too much and switches girls out quickly. What they don't see is a hurting kid who plays piano and reads.
The night they meet, Este sees something more to Owen. She recognizes pain and loneliness. Captivated by Este, Owen spends the entire night with her. Then he hatches a plan.
An arranged marriage will solve both their problems. Owen can be seen as a loving, put together man who is ready for his father's business and Este can kickstart her career as an artist.
It's supposed to be easy and simple. Something to benefit them both for the time being. Things start to change though when close proximity and loyalty mingles with the possibility of real love.
Their arrangement might not be as fake as they first assumed.
