“Your boyfriend is cheating on you.” One text message was enough to destroy Emilia Carter’s perfect life. Betrayed by the man she loved and left standing alone in the rain, Emilia never expected salvation to come from Alexander Vance—the city’s coldest and most dangerous billionaire. “Marry me for one year,” he says. “And I’ll make every person who hurt you regret it.” It was supposed to be a business arrangement. Simple. Temporary. Emotionless. But Alexander Vance is a man who always gets what he wants, and once Emilia signs his contract, he refuses to let her go. Trapped inside a world of luxury, power, and deadly secrets, Emilia soon realizes the real danger isn’t the enemies watching them from the shadows— it’s falling for the man who was never supposed to love anyone.
