Hilda Karl is unseen in Berlin — a poor girl with three jobs, a dying mother, and nothing left to lose. One rainy night, she saves a stranger from a burning car and goes away, never knowing she has just touched the life of one of the most dangerous men in the city. Gregor Ludwig owns power, money, and fear. What he doesn’t have is time. Bound by a ruthless business rule and surrounded by enemies waiting for his fall, he makes Hilda an offer no desperate woman should accept: a one-year contract marriage. Thrust into a world where love is a weapon and kindness is a weakness, Hilda becomes a target the moment she signs his name. Lies spread. Enemies close in. And the line between business and desire starts to blur. When the truth behind their marriage threatens to destroy them both, will Hilda and Gregor walk away to survive… or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be real?
