Ethan Blackwood, 28, CEO of Blackwood Capital and the youngest "financial sniper" on Wall Street, finds his champagne spiked by his half-brother, Marcus, during his own engagement party. As the drug takes effect, he stumbles into a storage closet in the staff corridor—colliding with Liam O’Brien, an Irish-American server from Queens who is only filling in for a shift. After a single night together, Ethan discovers that Liam is a Parsons student working three jobs to pay for his sister’s kidney dialysis. On the spot, Ethan offers him a five-million-dollar, one-year marriage contract—a move designed to blow up the strategic alliance his family had forced upon him. The following day, at a high-profile M&A press conference, Ethan walks in holding Liam’s hand, dropping a bombshell that catches everyone completely off guard. This is the story of two men—both accustomed to high-stakes gambles—who set out to dismantle a century-old family legacy, piece by piece.
