Daniel needs a wife for one year to protect his inheritance and silence the rumors threatening his family's empire. Amara needs money to save the family she loves. The solution seems simple: a contract marriage with one rule—never fall in love. But Daniel has a secret. He didn't choose Amara by accident. Years ago, their families were connected by a tragedy that destroyed Daniel's childhood and changed the course of his life. Now, with Amara living under his roof, Daniel begins to realize that the woman he planned to use for his revenge may be the only person capable of healing his broken heart. As their fake marriage begins to feel dangerously real, enemies emerge, hidden secrets are exposed, and Amara discovers that the contract she signed may have been designed to destroy her. Can love survive when the marriage began with a lie? And when Amara finally discovers why Daniel really chose her, will she forgive the man she has fallen in love with—or walk away forever?
