When her mother gets cancer, beloved, privileged Ariane Leo is forced to agree to a dying woman’s request; if her mother passes away, Arinae will go to her estranged father, Jonathan Leo, and make a home for herself across the country in New York City with four brothers she has never met and a father she barely knows.
When the unthinkable happens, Ariane makes good on her word, but not before grief-tinged partying, a string of shallow relationships and a relentless paparazzi rob her of her self respect and confidence.
When the resigned Ariane lands in New York City, she meets her swarming, overprotective brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as a niece, a nephew and her long absent father. Calm and collected lawyer Rex Neely, her father’s right-hand man and Leo’s Men’s most accomplished young protégé, provides a safety net of humor and kindness with a certain red hot something smoldering beneath the surface.
Their attraction is complicated by Rex’s promise to Jonathan Leo that he protect his daughter, not fall in love with her. In the wake of Rex’s rejection, Ariane’s old struggles with excess come back to haunt her, and she runs headlong into a PR scandal that threatens her father’s company’s reputation and her attempt to begin a new life.
The only way to avoid a media feeding frenzy is to throw a juicier tidbit to the sharks; Ariane agrees to marry Rex in a rushed, lavish wedding, with the paparazzi personally invited.
Not surprisingly, the bride gets cold feet after the ceremony, so Rex Neely makes a deal. The newlyweds agree to use their honeymoon as a trial period to get to know one another, no strings attached. When the three weeks come to a close, they can stay together or part.
What sounds good at first begins to turn into a nightmare as Rex and Ariane wrestle their growing attraction and their emotional involvement with one another. When tragedy strikes, Rex realizes that he needs to pull every punch if he wants to keep the heart of his reluctant heiress.
