Sophia Hale has spent her entire adult life trying not to take up space. When her late father’s failing media company sits hours from a hostile takeover, the last person she expects to offer a solution is Alexander Voss—the cold-blooded CEO who nearly destroyed her family five years ago. His terms are simple and brutal: marry him for one year. In exchange, he will save Hale Media and give her the voting power she has never been allowed to hold. Refusing means watching everything her father built disappear. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly becomes a battlefield of old grudges, forced proximity, and a dangerous attraction neither can afford. While Sophia learns how to stop shrinking, someone from Alex’s past is determined to make sure their marriage—and both of their empires—burns to the ground. She married her enemy to survive. Now she has to decide if she’s willing to fight for more.
