What happens when a desperate heiress offers $10,000 to a handsome stranger to seduce her father's gold-digging fiancee? Kristina "Kris" Carrera, daughter of billionaire real estate mogul Marcus Carrera, finds herself backed into a corner when her father announces his engagement to Gloria Martinez-a former beauty queen twenty years his junior with a suspicious pattern of dating wealthy men. After failed attempts to reason with her father, Kris crafts a plan born of desperation. Enter Nate Reynolds, a striking waiter at Beverly Hills' exclusive Chateau Rose. With chiseled features and emerald eyes, he embodies everything Gloria typically pursues. Their worlds collide when Kris corners him after his shift with her proposition: seduce Gloria, prove her unfaithfulness, and walk away $10,000 richer. Amused and insulted, Nate counters with his own terms-$15,000 and a kiss from Kris, redeemable at his discretion. It's a power play that both infuriates and intrigues her. The tension between them is immediate and electric. While Kris navigates charity galas in Louboutins, Nate juggles three jobs to support his alcoholic father and college-bound sister. Their charade requires spending time together, and as they exchange glances across crowded rooms, the line between performance and authenticity becomes increasingly blurred.
