Devlin, a successful businessman, is deeply devoted to his grandmother Olivia, who has been battling cancer for years. On her deathbed, Olivia makes Devlin promise to marry the granddaughter of her old friend, Amelia, whom Devlin has never met. Despite his reservations and busy life, Devlin agrees to ease his grandmother's worries.

Upon arriving at the funeral, Amber unexpectedly encounters Devlin, leading to an awkward and tense first meeting. Devlin, still grieving and overwhelmed by recent events, reacts coldly towards Amber's sudden appearance and the implications of their grandmothers' wish. However, he takes responsibility for her, ensuring she has a place to stay while they figure out what to do next regarding their grandmothers' agreement.
As the story unfolds, Amber finds herself staying in one of Devlin's condo units, feeling conflicted and uneasy about her situation. Her inner turmoil is heightened by her sense of duty towards the promise she made to the grandmothers and her growing curiosity about Devlin. Meanwhile, Devlin grapples with his own feelings about the arrangement, his grandmother's death, and his burgeoning interest in Amber despite himself.
