'Gemma has just lost her father, a famous hotel owner. According to his will, her entire inheritance will go to her stepmother unless Gemma is married by her next birthday. Gemma tries to save her inheritance by paying an ex-lover to marry her as a formality, but right before her birthday, he pulls out, and Gemma is left with nowhere to turn for help. Enter Andreas, a bellboy who worked for her father ten years ago—and is now a hotel tycoon himself! He offers salvation for Gemma, the woman who once looked down on him...but his help comes with an outrageous condition.' (Publication summary)
