It began as a deal! it became everything! When newly minted nurse Marie Allen agrees to a one-year marriage with mysterious heir Alex Whitaker to fund her sister’s life-saving treatment, she swears it’s only business. Moving into Alex’s world of cameras, contracts, and carefully curated appearances, Marie begins to see the man behind the money, and to feel what the contract forbids. However, Alex carries a history that refuses to remain hidden. His longtime love, Katherine, was always the plan after the annulment until Marie came into the picture. When Marie accidentally learns the reality, the fragile trust shatters. She walks away with divorce papers signed and a heart she never meant to risk. Now Alex must choose: the future he mapped out with Katherine, or the life he never expected with Marie. To win her back, he must defy the rules, confront his family, and show that this time, there are no strings attached, only love. She signed for her sister’s life… not for his love.
