The story of two people brought together by a choice made in a helpless, desperate moment. Daphne Smith never thought that her impulsive decision would lead to an actual arrangement; she never believed someone could be as desperate as she was.

After her divorce from Dan, she could no longer bear to hear the whispers that followed her around. The arrival of Ryan in their neighborhood came at the perfect time. So they set rules and began pretending they were dating, she would help him with his domineering family, and he would be the cure for the plague of gossip that flourished every time she stepped outside her house.

She had stopped believing in love a long time ago, thinking that the only unbreakable bond she could have was with her daughter. But there he was, making their act much more difficult with his smile and warm gaze. Daphne hadn't asked for him to penetrate her armor, and she didn't know if she had the power to run away or the ability to give in.

Ryan would be the death of her.
