Carter Billings has the looks of a Hollywood star and political ambitions to match. As his California gubernatorial campaign launches, he knows he needs a wife to complete his image. He turns to professional matchmaker Eliza Havens with an unusual business proposition: marry him for convenience. Eliza flatly refuses. She makes her living pairing lonely hearts, but a dark secret from her past makes marriage impossible for her. Yet Carter, the best friend of her friend Sam's husband Blake Harrison, affects her like no other man. Their arguments are fierce, but so is the way he makes her pulse race. Carter could have any woman he wants with his ash blonde hair and magnetic appeal. Instead he finds himself drawn to the one woman who won't have him. As their professional relationship becomes personal, Eliza must confront whether her buried past will forever prevent her from finding love with the elegant, sexy man who challenges her at every turn.
