Savannah Hamilton, aka Savvy, was a struggling medical student by day and a stripper at night. Her job is not something she is proud of. However, it pays the bills and keeps her grandma in the home she currently lives in. Her circle has always been small, and that's how she likes it. When she is offered the deal of a lifetime, her dreams of financial stability don't seem so far into the future anymore. If she can survive being around her pretend pain in the ass better half, everything would be just fine.

Tyron Turley is a rising executive, and even though he's rising, his company is losing more money than they are making. He has a brand that sells and his charisma that can charm any client. However, his company is hemorrhaging money. With loans piling up, his staff walking out every day, he needs a miracle to survive. So, when his obnoxiously rich friends bet him two million dollars he couldn't turn a stripper into a homemaker, he sees his troubles ending.

This would be the most money either of them has ever made. There was no downside, besides having to put up with one another. Yeah, they bumped heads a time or two, but there was more than enough space to separate. Except soon, the ebony beauty intrigues Tyron. They will marry soon and Savvy is finding it harder to sleep alone. At all costs, they have a goal they are determined to reach, but does that mean this can never be more?
