Sophie Frost thought the hardest thing she’d ever do was walk down the aisle to marry a man she didn’t love.She was wrong.Because she never made it to the vows.When her wedding erupts in gunfire and her husband dies at the altar, Sophie wakes up hunted by powerful enemies and trapped in a nightmare she can’t escape.Her only way out comes from the last man she ever expected to see again. Rune West.The man she left at the altar five years ago.The man who turned that heartbreak into an empire.Now Rune is offering her a bargain: one year as his wife in exchange for protection, freedom, and enough money to start over.The rules are simple.The marriage is fake.The past stays buried.And neither of them will ever speak about what happened five years ago.But living with Rune proves far more dangerous than Sophie expected, because the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to remember why she left—and the easier it becomes to forget that he was supposed to hate her.Some debts can’t be paid in money.And some loves refuse to stay buried.
