She was meant to be nothing more than a part of the bargain. He was never meant to care. Ava Sinclair signs a 1-year marriage contract with the cold and calculating tech billionaire, Jaxon Reed, to save her dying father’s company. She plays the obedient wife in public, he keeps her at a distance in private. One passionate night breaks down their wall of distance and leads to consequences that Ava never expects. She disappears without a trace after she finds out she’s pregnant. In a surprise merger three years later, Jaxon finds himself face to face with Ava and finds out about his child. But Ava isn't the same weak woman he once dismissed. And Jaxon is no longer willing to let her go. Though love isn’t part of the agreement, perhaps it is the only thing that could save them both.
