Six years of university didn't prepare Victoria for this. Victoria returned home expecting a warm welcome. Instead, she found her parents ready to sign her away to a complete stranger. To save her family, she agrees to a cold, calculated marriage contract. She expects a business arrangement; she doesn't expect her heart to get involved. ​Liam has a reputation and his father is done with it. ​The ultimatum was simple: marry the woman his father chose and clean up his act, or lose his trust fund and his inheritance. Liam chooses the money. His plan is to follow the contract, survive the marriage, and escape to a private island. ​But the contract has one specific clause: if either of them breaks the rules, the deal is off. Liam thought staying distant would be easy. He didn't realize that the "stranger" across the hall would be the one person he couldn't walk away from.
