Bailey Anderson never imagined her life would take such a dramatic turn. As a loyal and soft-hearted assistant to attorney Xavier Monroe, she finds herself swept into a proposal that defies all conventions when she receives an out-of-the-blue marriage proposal. Determined to appear the epitome of stability and commitment, Xavier asks Bailey to marry him-not for love, but to achieve his grand ambitions of getting a high-profile job with the District Attorney's office. With a heart full of unspoken feelings, Bailey agrees, stepping into a role fraught with unexpected challenges.

Their union, however, is far from simple. Incensed by the sudden engagement, Xavier's brother accuses Bailey of being a gold-digger. Complicating matters further is Priscilla, a woman from Xavier's past who has returned, her intentions clear and her pursuit relentless. And as fissures in the relationship between Xavier and Bailey begin to surface, the delicate balance of their fabricated marriage begins to unravel.

Set against a backdrop that blends modernity with the nostalgic charm of a bygone era, Bailey must navigate the trials of this unconventional arrangement. Will their marriage of convenience withstand the pressures from family and Priscilla's aggressive advances? Can Bailey turn this facade into a genuine love story, or will the weight of secrets and desires prove too great?
