In a world where power and fortune frequently trump the search of genuine love, Alexander Russo stands out- admired by many, feared by others, and completely known by none.

Laura Thompson, a woman of calm strength, has handled life's most difficult circumstances with grace and determination. Laura, who is struggling to support her elderly mother, has an unexpected turn in her life when she meets Alexander and is pushed into a life of luxury she never imagined—but at a cost. When Alexander makes an unexpected proposal to get rid of all of Laura's financial problems, she finds herself entering into a marriage that promises everything but love. However, as she navigates the complications of her new existence, she realizes that the heart has its own intentions. Their fragile bond is strained when an ex-girlfriend's lie threatens to pull them apart, and Laura, feeling betrayed, vows to take back her life. And soon, Laura is caught between her lingering love for Alexander and the advances of his ruthless rival. As truths are revealed and stakes rise, both Alexander and Laura must confront their pasts and decide if they can truly find happiness together—or if they are destined to be torn apart forever.
