Mira Dawson thought heartbreak and overdue rent were the worst of her problems—until a chance encounter with a stranger turns into something far more complicated. That stranger? Dominic Vale, the billionaire CEO she’s just been hired to work for. What begins as a nightmare quickly spirals into something neither of them can control. Trapped in a contract, caught in a scandal, and forced to fake a romance for the cameras, Mira finds herself living a lie that begins to feel dangerously real. But behind Dominic’s icy exterior lies a world of secrets—and Mira may be closer to the crossfire than she ever imagined. As chemistry blurs the line between truth and pretense, Mira starts to wonder: who can she really trust when every smile hides an agenda? And what happens when the past refuses to stay buried? *What would you do if falling in love meant risking everything? Would you run? Or would you fight to survive… even if the enemy is closer than you think?**

She had the prettiest eyes I'd ever seen; it was like staring into endless pools of honey. I remember gazing at them until I got lost in her overwhelming beauty, a burning desire to run my fingers through her perfectly silky, platinum blonde hair engulfed me. I'd never seen someone so perfect and it stung me deeply that I was probably never going to see her again, so I knew I had to make every second count. But from the moment she caught my gaze, things took a new turn… Emma, a young, intelligent graduate, crosses paths with a man she knows nothing of and one night, a crime of heated passion leads to something bigger than she has ever imagined. She becomes pregnant for the son of the owner of the biggest institute in Southlake, Belgium, who unbeknownst to her, is the son of the most influential billionaire in the country. In order to keep things in order for the both of them, Zavier Du-Montes makes a deal with her on the unborn child, but will her life become interwoven with his even after delivering his child and heading off to the city? Or will she choose her own path and abandon everything she's worked for to escape the repercussions for having the stranger's baby?
