The heroine is a resilient, independent, and exceptionally talented up-and-coming designer who has fallen on hard times. After a family crisis leaves her father seriously ill, she urgently needs a large sum of money. The hero is aloof and restrained, with a commanding presence and irresistible sex appeal, yet deeply devoted beneath the surface. He is intensely possessive and fiercely protective. He chooses a contractual marriage, then later makes the most satisfying comeback and face-slapping moves.
