After her father disappears, Inna Grace must fend for herself and her little brother. Broke, hungry, and desperate to survive, she makes a daring choice. She lies that a stranger is her husband and they have a son together in order to steal a large sum of money. What begins as an act of survival quickly drags her into a dangerous world she does not understand.
The stranger, Dmitri Konstantinov, is a powerful figure in Florida's underworld whose disarmingly charming smile masks a deadly game of deception. To settle her debt, Inna finds herself ensnared in Dmitri's web. Survival comes at a price far higher than the money she stole: she must marry him.
