From the back cover

Hired by the wealthy Shelton family to marry Jenny Shelton and shield her from a wedding-day betrayal, Caleb Hudson has spent seven years as the household scapegoat. Jenny, who still mourns her first love, Jackson Wembley, rations him five dollars a day and lets her circle ruin every job he finds.

When a matching heart is finally found for his dying mother, Jenny makes Caleb climb to a mountaintop cathedral to pray for Jackson's cousin, then gives the donor heart away. His mother dies, and Rowena Smith calls it suicide, pressing a gold-embossed card on him as hush money for a secret he has kept since the beginning.

At the funeral, Jenny is unreachable, and her mother's call is answered by another man. With the seven-year agreement nearly over, Caleb prepares to walk away for good.
