Thanks to his aunt's cockamamie will, Blake Caldwell has two choices: get married or forfeit the family fortune. He's worked too hard to let it all go. He's got to get married. All he needs now is someone who's not from his social circle. A woman willing to sign a pre-nup and walk away after the required year of marriage.
Enter Paige Parker: temporary secretary and wallflower extraordinaire. Paige just wants to raise enough money to get back to her father's missionary work in Africa. Blake's offer of marriage is the perfect solution. Play wife for one year, then she can return to the remote village where she belongs.
But marriage between strangers is never easy. Blake finds Paige more of a distraction than an asset as she begins to transform before his eyes. Until the sudden and strange accidents that endanger Blake's life have him suspecting his plain bride wants the entire inheritance for herself.
