Evelyn Vance has spent years trying to save the last piece of her family's legacy—a small greenhouse her father left behind. Then her reckless brother gambles away their future. With crushing debts, a ruthless uncle stealing their family's assets, and foreclosure looming over the greenhouse, Evelyn is left with nowhere to turn. Until Dante Moretti arrives. A billionaire tycoon with a dangerous reputation, Dante offers her an impossible deal: marry him for one year, and he will erase her brother's debt, return the greenhouse to her, and help uncover the truth behind her father's downfall. Evelyn hates him. She doesn't trust him. And she refuses to become another possession of the man her family once considered their greatest enemy. But Dante isn't asking for her love. He's asking for one year of her life. Because there is a secret behind her father's destruction—and Dante may be the only man powerful enough to protect her from the people who betrayed her family. As their contract marriage begins, Evelyn discovers that the most dangerous part of the deal isn't becoming Dante Moretti's wife. It's falling for the man she swore she would never trust.
