Synopsis

Poppy Hathaway, an independent spirit from an eccentric but loving family, yearns for a life of normalcy. Her path crosses with Harry Rutledge, a formidable and enigmatic hotel owner and inventor whose wealth and power mask a hidden, dangerous past. Their initial flirtation escalates dramatically, jeopardizing Poppy's reputation and leading to an unexpected proposal. Harry, driven by a desire to possess Poppy, offers her his passion but withholds his trust, a deep-seated reservation stemming from a lifetime of guarding his heart. Poppy, however, is not content with a half-hearted union; she demands to be his wife in every sense, challenging his carefully constructed emotional barriers. As their shared desire intensifies, a shadowy enemy emerges, threatening their fragile bond. Harry must now confront his own demons and learn to forge a true partnership, uniting body and soul with Poppy, if he wishes to keep her by his side amidst the lurking dangers.
