Iris Carter marries a comatose heir to escape her manipulative family and treacherous bodyguard.
On the Upper East Side, Iris Carter endures a father who worships her scheming half-sister Madison and a bodyguard, Ryan Vanderbilt, who courted Iris only to reach Madison. After Ryan repeatedly enables Madison's cruelty, Iris severs every tie by volunteering as substitute bride for Liam Archibald, the comatose scion of a rival dynasty. Liam awakens to a wife he never chose, and their arrangement gradually deepens into genuine affection rooted in a long-hidden family connection. Meanwhile, Ryan recognizes too late that Iris was the one he truly loved.
