"I'm afraid I have greatly misled you. You see, I'm the town's worst citizen. Hated by all, loved by none…” When the town's number one prostitute is made a jaw-dropping offer she cannot refuse, nothing can prepare her for the consequences of that one decision. Gloria Grande, orphaned and forced to make a living from offering pleasures to men―it's a life Gloria tries to live and survive everyday… Until she is finally given the opportunity―Marry the son of a wealthy merchant for a year and get paid three thousand dollars. One year. It was that simple. At least that is what Gloria thinks when she accepts the offer. Until she meets Howard; the aloof, bitter son of her employer. Now, Gloria must battle Howard's attitude and try to win his love or at least survive a year under his mistrust and scrutiny and worst of all, the burning desire to get back to her old life―a life she never imagined in a million years, she'd miss.
