Anna finds herself abandoned and penniless in a foreign metropolis when her vindictive fiancé terminates her visa sponsorship and absconds with her savings. Cornered in an alley by immigration trouble, she impulsively plants a kiss on Axe, a bloodied stranger fleeing street brawlers, and convinces him to sign an emergency marriage certificate. She assumes she has wed a penniless hoodlum who needs quick legal cover.
Instead, when her wealthy ex-fiancé resurfaces to harass and intimidate her, Axe reveals a lethal combat skill set and resources that defy explanation. Behind his leather jacket and scarred knuckles lies a background far more dangerous than any street thug. As authentic desire ignites between them, Anna realizes she has married a shadow kingpin who will slaughter anyone threatening his bride.
