21-year-old Debra Thornton is about to have her life turned upside down. Her father, the formidable Mr. Thornton, owner of the prestigious Salesdome Enterprise, has just announced that he's arranged for her to marry Griffin, the 25-year-old CEO of the GS Enterprise.
Debra is horrified. She's always dreamed of marrying for love, not convenience. But her father's obsession with wealth and power has left her with no choice.
Griffin, on the other hand, is equally appalled by the arrangement. He's already in a relationship with a woman he loves, and the thought of marrying a stranger is abhorrent to him. But his father's ultimatum is clear: marry Debra, or forfeit his position as CEO.
As Debra and Griffin navigate their way through this treacherous landscape, they must confront their own demons and make impossible choices. Will they find a way to escape the prison of their arranged marriage, or will they succumb to the pressures of their families' expectations?
In this gripping tale of love, power, and deception, Debra and Griffin must fight for their freedom and their hearts. But as they do, they'll discover that the true cost of their families' ambition may be higher than they ever imagined.
