She needs money, a lot of it, to pay for her daughter’s operation. Macy McKinney will do anything for five-year-old Haley.

Businessman Thad Winters, a widower, wants a child without the complications of a relationship. He’s willing to pay for that. He interviews applicants – and hires Macy to have his baby. Once Macy’s pregnant, they decide that a temporary marriage will simplify the situation – but it does exactly the opposite!
