Elena spent eight years supporting her husband Marcus as he climbed the political ladder. She managed his image, handled his scandals, worked extra jobs, and lived frugally to fund his campaigns. The night Marcus secures his prestigious appointment as State Commissioner, he comes home and coldly serves her divorce papers. With his mother and his elegant high-society ex-girlfriend beside him, he tells Elena she is too "common" and "unrefined" for his new life. Security escorts her out while they celebrate. Broken and wandering the rainy city streets with nothing but two suitcases and twenty-seven dollars, Elena witnesses a black SUV crash on a highway overpass. No one stops. She runs to the smoking wreckage and pulls the injured driver to safety. The man she saves is Governor Arthur Vance — the most powerful politician in the state and the very man Marcus has been desperately trying to impress. Later, in the hospital, Arthur learns the truth about Elena’s betrayal. Intrigued by the woman who risked everything to save a stranger while her own life crumbled, he makes her an extraordinary offer: “Marry me for one year. I get the stable image I need to win re-election. You get the money, the lawyers, and the power to completely destroy the people who threw you away.”
