Five years ago, 21-year-old Dove Ashford entered Simeone's private casino desperate to save her grandmother's life. She needed $10 million. Dove was an exceptional gambler, but one final game put her against the most dangerous man in the casino: Desire Mendez. Desire won. Instead of taking everything from Dove, he gave her a $10 million cashier's check the following morning with one sentence: "For the hand you lost." Then Desire disappeared from her life. Dove discovered she was pregnant. She gave birth to Dahlia, raised her alone and built a quiet life around her daughter. Desire never knew. Five years later, Dove desperately needs a better-paying job and accepts a position at DOM Holdings. Her new boss is Desire. He doesn't recognize her. Worse, he has absolutely no idea that the five-year-old girl Dove has been protecting is his daughter. Then Desire's mother arrives at the office, sees Dove and assumes she is Desire's fiancée. Desire immediately turns the misunderstanding into an opportunity. He needs a fiancée. Dove needs money and job security. So Desire offers her a deal: Pretend to be his fiancée. Dove reluctantly accepts. But Desire makes one catastrophic mistake. He brings the woman who is hiding his daughter directly into his life. And the longer Dove remains beside him, the closer Desire gets to discovering the secret she has protected for five years: His fake fiancée is the mother of his child.
