A Billionaire software developer impatient to claim his inheritance, a childhood friend determined to save her late father's ranch, and a marriage of convenience.

Adam Stevenson, must marry in 30 days to receive his great-grandfather's inheritance.

The walls around Adam's heart, won't let him fall in love. He fears being responsible for another person he loves dying… a belief which has kept love strictly out of bounds.

With his heart firmly caged in and with no intention of being tied down longer than a year, Adam proposes a marriage in name only to the girl-next-door, Elle Jennings.

Elle is desperate to save her dad's ranch from foreclosure. She has 3 weeks to do it.

All alone in the world, except for a stepmother and stepsister who dislike her, Elle wants to hold onto the one thing that brings her a sense of belonging... her father's ranch.

When Adam asks her to be his fake wife, she agrees... with certain conditions.

1)Keep strictly to their pact-agreement. 2)Do not fall in love.

It's only for one year. What could possibly go wrong with a marriage pact?
