Elena Navarro has twenty-nine days to stop her brother from being deported, and no money left to fight for him. When billionaire Damien Cross offers her seven hundred fifty thousand dollars to marry him for six months, she knows it isn’t a gift. It’s a trap. But Miguel's life matters more than her pride. The rules are clear. Move into his penthouse. Stand by his side. Stay quiet. She agrees. What she doesn’t realize is that saying yes puts her in danger. Someone is following her. Sending messages. Taking pictures. They know about the money, the contract, and the lie she’s helping sell. They also know something about Damien that could ruin the empire he built—something he buried long before she came into his life. Elena thought the pretending would be the hardest part. She was wrong. The hardest part is the secret she’s carrying, the one he can’t find out. Because if Damien Cross learns she lied, she doesn’t expect understanding. Mercy was never part of the deal. The clock is ticking. She’s almost running out of time.
