What if your dream job came with a scandalous catch? For ambitious architect Niniola Alfred, designing a luxurious eco-resort in Zanzibar is everything she's ever wanted. But the man behind the empire, enigmatic CEO Godwin Harts, demands a price she never imagined: she has to be his fake fiancée. Sounds simple, right? It's just a contract, a strategic alliance. She gets her career-defining project, he gets his formidable mother off his back. Niniola and Godwin master the art of public affection; the lingering touches, the whispered endearments, the perfectly convincing glances. But as they play the part, a dangerous truth begins to emerge. Godwin, a man built on steel and guarded secrets, reveals glimpses of a vulnerability that stirs Niniola's fiercely independent heart. And Niniola, who vowed to keep her emotions locked down, finds herself irresistibly drawn to the complex layers of the man she's only pretending to love.
