But their arranged marriage is put to the test when Emily receives disturbing threats from Matthew's doctor. And as the dangerous warnings escalate, so does the simmering attraction between her and Nate...

Nate vows he'll do whatever it takes to protect Emily. But is he willing to break both their hearts in the process?
