A $30 million debt. A ruthless Balkan tycoon. A marriage forced by circumstance.​When Elena Radić’s uncle vanished overnight, he took $30 million from the Marković Syndicate and left her family with the bill. With her father’s business facing instant collapse, Elena goes to the only man who can stop it: Damian Marković.​Damian is dangerous, cold, and unused to hearing the word no. He offers her a single way out: sign a one-year marriage contract to help fix his public image for a major corporate merger, or watch her family lose everything.​Desperate to protect the people she loves, Elena signs her name on the dotted line and moves into his secluded estate above the city. The rules inside his home are simple: play the devoted wife in public, stay out of his way in private, and never disobey him.​It was meant to be a cold, business transaction. But living under the same roof with a man as controlling as Damian quickly proves that the thin line between hatred and passion is very easy to cross.​"You carry my name now, Elena. Remember that."
