Au fil des jours, la façade d’un mariage arrangé se fissure, exposant secrets, blessures enfouies et désirs inavoués. Teresa, déterminée à gagner ce duel sentimental, se retrouve à lutter contre ses propres émotions, tandis que Ryouma, malgré son armure de froideur, vacille face à l’imprévisible jeune femme. Entre orgueil, défis et manipulations, un danger les guette : celui de briser la clause la plus interdite du contrat… tomber amoureux.

Bain and Gia met in Sizzling Strip, a pub along Times Square where Gia works. Bain is hunting for the perfect woman to propose a deal to—be his girlfriend and convince his mother he is in love with another woman so she will help extricate him from an arranged engagement with a socialite he wanted to back out of. Gia can’t believe the exorbitant fee she is going to get paid with, until he informed her there will be—possibly—a marriage contract should it come to it. And the reason she was qualified for the job? Not only did he like her, he feels she is attracted to him, too. But Gia has important reasons to accept the proposal--her mother has cancer and needed money for treatment, they're going to lose their house and her nanny, and she is a semester away from graduating college. It isn't like it’s going to be hard pretending to be the girlfriend of a wealthy, hot and sexy businessman. So the contract is signed and all and she is set to follow her boyfriend to Texas to start the game and meet with his mother. Whatever else could go wrong?
