Phoebe Quinn learned exactly what four years of loyalty was worth: Nothing. Eighteen months after discovering her boyfriend's betrayal, she signs a contract that costs her even more. To save her father from the man who owns his freedom, she becomes Damon Ross's wife on paper. Six months. No feelings. No questions. And definitely no expectations. Until Damon walks into the civil registry and she realises he's the stranger she spent one unforgettable night with, then spent eighteen months trying to forget. She thought that night was a mistake he had forgotten. He hadn't. He's had people searching for her since the morning she disappeared, though she has no idea. He doesn't tell her what he plans to do when the six months runs out. She signed to survive the arrangement. He signed never to let her walk away from him twice.
