Betrayed by those she trusted most, 22-year-old Anna Everly had almost lost everything—her dreams, her love, and the life she thought she knew. Just when she was ready to give up, an unexpected offer changed everything: a contract marriage with Julian Sterling, the cold and untouchable heir to the powerful Zenith Corp—the very company Anna had once longed to work for. Julian needed a bride to secure his inheritance, and Anna needed a way out. It was meant to be a simple, short-term arrangement, just enough to convince Julian’s dying father that he was ready to lead. However, what should have been a simple arrangement soon drew Anna into a treacherous world of wealth, secrets, and manipulation. Julian’s distant brother, Damon, stirs feelings she can’t ignore, while the ex-boyfriend who shattered her heart reappears in the worst way possible. In a world ruled by money and manipulation, will she get her revenge, or will she discover that a new kind of love can be a weapon of its own?
