She's set to be married to the 'perfect guy' and will have no worries at all in life--but she does. She meets, not so high social class, but handsome, Jamie Dornan. He has his life all under control, not rich, but he has enough of what he needs. These two meet unexpectedly and suppress a love for each other that is forbidden. Will Dakota go on and marry her 'perfect guy' and will Jamie go on and about his life? Will the two sacrifice everything for their love?
In a world where devotion and love clash, Ella Smith finds herself at a fork in the road. Driven by her need to provide for her family, she sets out on a dangerous quest to rescue her brother who has been falsely convicted from the grip of a cruel system.
Then along comes charming billionaire Luke Connor with a unique proposition. He gives Ella a ten thousand dollar lifeline if she would only pose as his girlfriend. It's a calculated effort to lessen the constant strain from his high-society background, where getting a good wife is a difficult task.

She is in a world of luxury, secrets, and intrigue where she needs Luke's assistance more than ever since the stakes are so high. Failing would mean losing her own life as well as her brother's freedom.
