Austin Rutherford has everything-fame, power, and a future already written for him as the heir to the Rutherford Group. One mistake threatens it all. To protect his inheritance and silence a looming scandal, he agrees to an accidental marriage he never wanted. Audrey Clinton has nothing left to lose. A failed event-planning business, mounting debts, and a family depending on her push her into accepting an offer that feels less like love and more like survival. Bound by a legal contract and forced to live as husband and wife, Austin and Audrey enter a marriage built on lies, strict rules, and unspoken motives. Every day under the same roof blurs the lines between pretense and reality, awakening emotions neither of them planned for-and secrets that could destroy them both. What began as a calculated decision soon becomes a dangerous game of control, vulnerability, and desire. Will they walk away when the contract ends… or risk everything for a love neither of them expected?
