28 year old Martin Carter is a self-made billionaire. He's made his business through computers and sleeping around. Nothing has gotten in his way as he ventures to reach the top. No woman. No child. No other man. Society was falling to their knees at the very mention of him. Unfortunately, that was the old Martin. The new Martin Carter is in trouble. He's invested in the wrong people and in the wrong companies, and after ten years on top, it's coming around to bite him in the ass. Luckily enough, he has a good mentor, supporting parents, and looks that could kill. Now all he needs is a rich wife.
26 year old Marie is not a billionaire, or a millionaire. She isn't even rich. She works as a maid at a local motel in South Carolina. Her aspiration; become a journalist. First step; finish college. Second step; earn enough money to go to Europe for a summer. Third step; write a book about it. Seems like a simple enough list. Unfortunately, Marie meets Mr. Carter.
He's grieving, she's working. She needs the money, he has it. So they strike a deal. She sleeps with him and he gives her the money. Easy enough right? Wrong. They both have other things in mind, but neither of them include falling in love.
