Adriana never imagined that a broken heart would lead her into a marriage she never wanted. After leaving her unfaithful husband behind, Adriana chooses a quiet life as a preschool teacher. Then she meets Theo Vescari, a sweet little boy who quickly becomes attached to her. What she doesn't expect is his father, Dante Vescari—a powerful businessman known for his cold nature, intimidating presence, and ruthless reputation. When Theo begins wishing for Adriana to become his mother, Dante offers her a temporary marriage contract. No love. No expectations. No promises. It should have been simple. But Dante is more than a wealthy businessman. Behind his legitimate investment empire lies a dangerous world of underground loans, debts, and enemies. And becoming his wife means stepping into a life Adriana never asked for. As their boundaries begin to blur, Adriana discovers the gentle father hidden beneath Dante's cold exterior—and Dante realizes that the woman who was supposed to be temporary is becoming impossible to let go. Because sometimes, the most dangerous contract isn't written on paper. It's the one written on the heart.
