An unlikely relationship is formed between a shy bodyguard and a powerful CEO.A group of student eco-activists attacks Malden Pharmaceuticals, endangering six people. One of the attackers, Gabriel Nolan, a naive young alpha hopelessly in love with the group’s leader, takes the fall. Branded as the scapegoat, he’s arrested and sent to jail.
Desperate, his father appeals to Malden’s CEO, Blue Lowen, begging for mercy. In a surprising twist, Blue agrees to spare Gabriel from prison under one condition: he must join the Second Chance program for first-time offenders.
As a consequence, Gabriel is sent to a marriage contract fair, where his marital contract can be purchased by anyone. But someone is out to sabotage his future. To punish him, or worse. And who better than his greatest foe, Blue Lowen himself, the ruthless CEO of Malden Pharmaceuticals?
Blue has a job for Gabriel. A dangerous one. The kind that could get him killed, especially since the CEO has no shortage of enemies... and Gabriel used to be one of them.
The irony isn’t lost on him. But he can’t say no.
Now, he has to protect the last person he ever expected: the man he once hated most.
