Chloe, the illegitimate daughter of Las Vegas’s casino king, has loved Ethan Hayes for ten years, clinging to his promise to save her from a forced marriage. But at the elite Flower Gala, Ethan publicly gives the life-saving orchid meant for her to another girl, leaving her humiliated, stripped of everything, and the laughingstock of the upper class. With no way out, she boards a one-way flight to Washington D.C. for an arranged marriage with Ryan Shaw, a notoriously ruthless tycoon. This desperate trip was supposed to be the end of her story, but the most earth-shaking twists of her fate are only just about to unfold.
