He has eight months left to live. I need enough money to save my family. Neither of us expected to fall in love. When billionaire Lucian Heather offers me a fortune to become his wife and give him the heir his family demands, saying yes should be easy. It’s a contract. Eight months. No feelings. Except I’m hiding something. I’m taking birth control because the thought of pregnancy terrifies me—a fear born from watching my mother die giving birth. As Lucian’s health worsens, his family demands an heir and his cousin circles his empire. And somewhere between pretending to be his wife and learning the man behind the money, I fall for him. Now I have to choose: keep hiding behind the contract… or risk everything for a love neither of us saw coming.
