LA heiress Serena marries architect William against her father’s will. For three years, she washes seafood dishes as he feigns seafood allergy to avoid her—until she catches him peeling shrimp for his secretary Wendy. After a public confrontation, Serena goes home. Becoming Ryder Group’s VP, she pulls all family investment backing his failing business and files for divorce upon uncovering Wendy’s deception. William falls into ruin while Serena meets gentle project manager Dylan, who treats her tenderly. An unexpected guest disturbs her later joyful milestone, and Serena finds quiet peace at the seafood restaurant alone.
