Alessia Matteo has spent her life running from a painful past, but now her grandmother’s life is on the line, and time is running out. When the formidable business tycoon Benedetta Luca offers her a $10 million deal to save her, Alessia has no choice but to agree—she must seduce Benedetta’s estranged son, Massimo Riccardo, a billionaire with a dark secret: he’s severely allergic to any physical contact with women. The contract is simple: six months, no emotional ties, and under no circumstances is Alessia allowed to fall in love. For Massimo, who’s built walls around his heart and his empire, it’s just another business arrangement. But as Alessia dives deeper into Massimo’s world of luxury and control, she quickly realizes there’s more to him than meets the eye. His vulnerability draws her in, but his suspicion keeps her at arm’s length. While Alessia battles with her growing feelings, Massimo is torn between his desire for her and the haunting fear of betrayal. With every encounter, the stakes rise, and their intense connection teeters on the edge of passion and destruction. Secrets unravel, trust is tested, and both Alessia and Massimo must confront the shadows of their pasts—or risk losing everything. In a world of high stakes and even higher temptations, can Alessia fulfill her contract and walk away? Or will her heart—and Massimo—prove to be too dangerous a gamble?
