After ten years and a ring on her finger, her fiancé, Ethan, threw away their stable, honest life, claiming he needed more a flashier partner, a fast-paced social climb and walked out for a rival, a woman named Chloe.

But a sudden corporate crisis at her firm a massive merger hinging on stability and reputation-forces her into a new, shocking role.
