Blair, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, finds herself betrayed at every turn by her fiancé, Senator Jasper. He deliberately postpones their wedding seventeen times, enables his assistant, Maddie, to steal her professional work, and—through his callous indifference—indirectly contributes to the death of her father. Completely disillusioned, Blair cuts all ties with Jasper, moves out of their shared home, and accepts an offer from his rival, Elliott, to join his campaign team—placing her squarely in the fight against Jasper.
