Angela Caldwell never imagined that a desperate need for money would lead her into a marriage with a man she barely knew. With her grandfather lying in the hospital and mounting bills threatening to destroy the only family she has left, Angela is willing to do almost anything to save him. So when the cold and powerful billionaire heir, Ashton Walter, offers her a marriage contract, she accepts—even though she knows nothing about the dangerous world she is stepping into. Ashton needs a wife before the end of the month. If he fails to fulfill his grandfather’s condition, he will lose his position and his claim to the Walter family empire. Angela seems like the perfect solution: innocent, desperate, and willing to keep their arrangement strictly business. The rules are simple. No love. No jealousy. No questions. And absolutely no falling for each other. But living under the same roof proves that keeping their hearts out of the contract is easier said than done. As Angela becomes entangled in the powerful Walter family, she discovers that Ashton is hiding more than just his feelings. Dark family secrets, betrayals, and hidden motives begin to surface, making her question whether her marriage was ever truly a business arrangement. And then there is Aiden Walter—Ashton’s charming younger brother—who unexpectedly develops feelings for Angela. Caught between two brothers and surrounded by secrets, Angela must decide who she can trust before the contract that was supposed to save her life becomes the very thing that destroys it. Because in the Walter family, nothing is ever as it seems. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing a billionaire can do is fall in love with the woman he was never supposed to keep.
