At first, thinking Sam would be her ticket to a better future, Nadia soon discovers her new husband is cold and detached, far from the attractive man he presented. Benevolent on the surface, Nadia is an undercover agent assigned to reveal the secrets of Sam's ex-wife, Venessa, who has lethal influence over him. Nadia finds comfort in Sam's devoted friend Jake's generosity as she negotiates the complexity of her twin responsibilities; he unexpectedly becomes her confidante and cause of real happiness. As Nadia and Jake's relationship evolves, the lines separating obligation from desire blur, further complicating her purpose and emotions. But Nadia discovers startling facts about Sam and Venessa's backgrounds that alter everything, even as she begins to hope for a future with Jake. Between the pressures of her undercover work and her developing love for Jake, Nadia must make a heart-wrenching decision: keep the deception and risk losing Jake permanently, or tell the truth and release herself from the bonds of the contract marriage.
