Single father Javier Pérez is ready for a Provider to take care of him and his son Alejandro so he can offer his son the life he deserves. Firefighter Gavin Carmichael wants nothing more than to work with his team and help people, but to get his sister Evelyn away from her abusive Provider, he needs immediate access to his trust fund.

When Javier and Gavin connect through a matchmaking company, they find common ground in needing a hasty marriage.

After Gavin charms Alejandro, Javier knows he must learn how to be a lover and a Recipient in order to keep his new Provider. When Gavin watches Javier with Evelyn at the wedding, he realizes there's more to Javier than he'd initially understood. As life makes them choose one another repeatedly, they learn there is more to marriage than "to love and cherish."
