Marisol Reyes built the logistics division of her father’s company from nothing, working three years in the shadow of a man who never once told her she was good enough. Now he’s dead — and his final decision is the cruelest one yet. Half the company goes to her. The other half goes to Julian Voss, the man who walked away eight years ago without a word of explanation and never looked back. There’s one condition: marry within thirty days, or lose everything. Marisol doesn’t want Julian’s money, his silence, or the ghosts he refuses to explain. But she’ll be damned if she watches everything she built get sold off to strangers because her father wanted one last twisted game before he died. Julian doesn’t want a wife. He wants answers to the questions that drove him out eight years ago — and the woman standing in front of him, daring him to explain himself, is making it very hard to remember why he left in the first place. A marriage of convenience. A year of forced partnership. And a secret buried eight years deep that could burn everything down the moment it surfaces. Some contracts are just paperwork. This one might cost them both their hearts.
