Christian Castillo has it all: good looks, status, charms, and a thriving business empire. Despite being the most sought-after elite business mogul there is in Chicago, he strives to earn a reputation built on his name rather than the underneath sheath of his family's fortune as the gossip columns all claim. However, to achieve this feat, he must prove to the board his willingness to commitment and stability even if that involves getting married to the one woman from his past which he would rather, choose the devil than get involved with if he had a choice. • Adelaide Knowles happens to be the opposite of what a sought-after wife will be, if at all she's ever aimed to be one. Being the wild, carefree, and smart-mouthed woman who is accompanied by a lot of debts and is on the run for her life, she coincidentally encounters one of her estranged enemies and is forced to accept whatever deal he offers her, provided it gets her to live freely without streaks of fear for her life. •• He is the devil and the deep blue sea and she is the fish caught in the net. What happens when they discover they both need each other as badly as they never want to be near each other?
