“After their parents' Las Vegas wedding goes viral, lawyer and bad boy Darnell Jackson and social rights activist Fiona Ricks become the unlikeliest stepsiblings. Fiona, an introvert committed only to her work, finds herself sharing a roof with Darnell, a man with a personality she dreads. Their clashes are unending, until a career-shattering scandal throws Fiona's world into chaos. To save her reputation, she needs Darnell's legal services, but that means blurring the lines of their already complicated relationship. Can Fiona risk her career and her heart on a forbidden love that could tear their family apart?”
