Violet thought she was marrying the love of her life. Instead, she discovered she was the "other woman" in an eight-year betrayal, and her ex was planning to force her into a marriage with a dangerous billionaire. When Violet tries to hire a handsome escort to crash the wedding, she accidentally walks straight into the lion's den. The "escort" is actually Gerald Denver, the very billionaire she was supposed to be tricked into marrying. But Gerald isn't interested in his nephew's games. He needs a convenient wife to close a business deal, and Violet needs a weapon. He offers her a one-year contract marriage with unlimited funding, legal protection, and a guarantee to destroy her ex's company. The terms are strictly professional, but as the contract begins, Violet realizes that playing house with the country’s most dangerous man might cost her more than just her heart.
