The Synopsis

Psalm Reign has always been more comfortable behind a computer than in the spotlight, working as the IT specialist for his family's powerful business. When a beautiful nurse enters his world while caring for his injured brother, an unexpected connection begins to challenge everything he thought he new about love, vulnerability, and his place within the Reign family.
