When a string of mistakes leaves Elyss deeply in debt, she is offered a solution by Saul Pendleton: become his temporary girlfriend for every social occasion and repay her loans through his personal loan scheme.

As Elyss navigates the tricky mix of romance and money, the story examines the boundary between a date and a potential marriage, and the personal costs of using love as collateral.
