Easily the shyest of the season eight American Idol contestants, Kris Allen is one of the wealthiest men since winning the prize and landing on the Billboard Charts with every single. That he is a recluse and even more of an introvert since his divorce only deems him more of a celebrity mystery.
Yet he can't trust anyone he knows since his win thanks to greedy ladder climbers controlling his every move, and Kris has few options outside of renewing because no one wants to go up again his entourage of producers, agents, and publicists. Also he needs a good reason to decline the contract or else the repercussions could make his life miserable.
So when his contract is about to expire and he must either renew or face fading into obscurity (or much worse), Kris approaches his once-best friend, the vivacious producer and singer Adam Lambert with a most outrageous proposition: marriage!
Adam's reputation is so dangerous that thirty seconds alone with him will break any anyone who is not as jaded as him. Still, Kris comes to him and the old sparks between them flicker into a raging fire. And, Adam still wants Kris — in his bed and on his label, wants him enough to legally shackle himself to his former friend.
But Kris' proposal comes with a condition: no sex after their wedding night. Kris will not become just another of Adam Lambert's conquests to be callously discarded. Kris' ultimatum leaves Adam with two choices: step up his game of seduction or surrender his heart to Kris again and convince him to be Adam's partner in more than just making records.
