SYNOPSIS
On a normal day, Emmaline Darling isnβt a car thief. Sheβs just a simple girl who runs a bookstore and adores cats. But when sheβs stranded in the desert and needs to get away from her dangerous ex-boyfriend, she picks her only option: swiping the keys to a famous football playerβs Lamborghini and speeding away.
Football star Graham Harlan is in chaos. First he took a hit on the field that left him with a near-death experience, and now heβs promised his brother heβll get married to secure the family inheritance. Trouble is he isnβt even seeing anyone. Then a mystery woman steals his car. With his usual stubbornness, he tracks her all the way to Manhattan and gives her an ultimatum: marry me or Iβll press charges.
Her choice is obvious, only neither of them expect the sparks that ignite between them.
As the end of their arrangement looms, will Graham take a chance on love or let his darling walk away forever?
