How far would you go to save the only family you've ever known?
Olivia, a lifelong optimist, has just graduated from college and is about to start a new job when she gets the earth-shattering news that her dad is ill. Scared, she drops everything and moves home to be with him.
While walking on the beach one day, she runs into the most attractive man she has ever laid eyes on. The chemistry between them is sizzling from the first moment.
Turns out, he is rich, successful, and battling the demons of a past relationship that has left him broken. But when he finds out that Livy needs help paying for her dad's medical bills, he jumps to her rescue.
The catch: they have to pretend to be happily married for at least one year.
Enough time for her to get the trust fund money her grandma left her so that she can pay him back, and enough time for him to change his bad boy reputation. But things get complicated when feelings and a burning desire enter the picture.
