Aria Bennett is desperate. Her mother has 7 days to live without a 4 million naira surgery. Every bank says no. Every door closes. Until Damian Vance walks back into her life. The man she loved at 19. The man who vanished without a word. Now he’s a billionaire with a contract and a cold smile. 6 months. His penthouse. His rules. In return, he pays the hospital bill. No feelings. No touching. No past. But Damian doesn’t do “no touching.” And he never forgave her for leaving. Aria tells herself it’s just business. Just a signature. Just 6 months. Until his rules start breaking her. Until his jealousy burns hotter than his kiss. Until her ex, Mark, drags the past back with threats and photos and blood on his knuckles. She signed the contract to save her mother. She didn’t sign up to be claimed. She didn’t sign up for a man who says “you’re mine” like it’s a law. Now Aria is trapped between the boy she lost and the monster he became. And in Damian Vance’s world… there’s no such thing as just business. *This is a dark second-chance romance. Possessive. Jealous. Addictive.* ---
