"Sign the contract, Elena. Live with me for twelve months, and I will destroy the man who ruined you." Elena Vance is drowning. Her toxic ex-fiancé didn’t just dump her for a wealthy heiress—he stole her design blueprints, emptied her business account, and left her facing a $100,000 bankruptcy lawsuit. Just when she thinks she’s hit rock bottom at a high-society Manhattan gala, he steps out of the shadows. Alexander "Alec" Knight. The ruthless, untouchable "Ice King of Wall Street." He doesn't do charity. He doesn't do romance. But his grandfather’s will is a ticking time bomb: marry within two weeks, or lose his multi-billion-dollar empire. Alec needs a flawless, compliant fake wife. Elena needs a savior and a weapon for revenge. It was supposed to be a cold, bloodless business transaction. Twelve months. Separate bedrooms. No touching. But the moment the bedroom door closes in his luxury penthouse, the lines between business and pure, unfiltered possession begin to blur. Elena wanted justice... but what happens when she realizes the most dangerous man in New York has no intention of ever letting her go?
