Norah Gates, the pampered daughter of the Gates dynasty, loses everything in a single day: her father brings his mistress and illegitimate daughter home, and a leaked video brands her the laughingstock of New York. Cast out and desperate, she is rescued by Harrison Cole, who shields her from the paparazzi and, after two years, proposes.
