Kaylin was staying in a prestigious hotel for a convention that was vital for her father's business. She went out for a walk to clear her head before it starts and bumped into this handsome tourist in front of a florist shop enjoying his brief visit in the beautiful city. That tourist was Cade Tucker and his enthusiasm for travelling matched hers which left her feeling very hollow and wanting to pursue her dream.  - How do they become friends?

And through it all they become friends who enjoy each others company a little too much that leaving becomes a very regretted ordeal.  - Where does 'marriage' come from? Before they were leaving Cade had convinced Kaylin to discuss her wish to tour different places with her parents. He mused maybe they think she loves what she's doing and maybe they have no idea how much she needs a break from it. Communication is the key, he said. And Kaylin listened. Hopeful that maybe that's true because she has never once brought up anything that she wants to do, how were they to know she doesn't like it? But what if they don't understand her? What if they are just as detached from her wants and needs as she has always known them to be? And to that Cade had suggested to come back to him because he might not be able to ever give her the luxurious life she's living now but he would make sure her heart is rich with his love for the rest of their lives. Her parents did react negatively to her request for some time off to travel and a huge quarrel erupted with their accusations against the man (Cade) who'd seamlessly approached her and effectively trapped her because of her wealth. Hurt beyond measure because they'd kept a spy on her Kaylin left their house with only the clothes on her back and went to Cade. Who accepted her just as he'd promised without the wealth, without anything but her heart.  - What did they blackmail Cade with? The only alive family of Cade is a distant cousin who's just recovered from a trauma of her own and started a family with her husband. Kaylin's parents threatened to cause trouble for her if Cade didn't leave Kaylin alone. Cade was helpless to do anything but disappear because his cousin has done a lot for him through the years.  Outline Kaylin bumps into Cade Tucker, a tourist, in front of a florist shop and their love for travel causes an instant connection between them which runs deeper than the feelings of friendship. Cade convinces her to talk about her wishes with her parents and when she does they accuse Cade of being after her wealth. Realizing they have kept a spy on her Kaylin leaves their house and goes to Cade who accepts her with open arms just as he'd promised he'd do if things go south. They get married and are living happily when Kaylin's parents approach Cade and blackmail him that they would cause trouble for his cousin, the only relative of his that's alive, if he didn't leave Kaylin. Cade has no other choice but to do say they say if he wants to keep his cousin safe. But he promises himself he'd get Kaylin out of their clutches as well. Now six years later he'd acquired more wealth than them and is hell bent on making them pay and to get Kaylin as far away from them as possible. But Kaylin is proving it to be more difficult than he'd anticipated.
