Anya fights to secure safety and legal status for her daughter.
Anya escapes Nick's abuse with Tasha, only to hit an immigration dead end that threatens deportation. With no other path, she enters a contract marriage with Dalton, a respected fire captain, trading vows for a visa. Their arrangement starts as separate routines — he answers emergency calls while she builds stability for Tasha — but daily life erodes the boundaries. Shared meals and quiet moments turn obligation into trust, then something deeper neither anticipated, even as the threat of removal still hangs over them.
