Nora Carter was supposed to inherit an empire. As the eldest daughter of the late Daniel and Victoria Carter, she became the guardian of her younger brother and the acting owner of Carter Heights, a billion-dollar skyscraper that her parents built from scratch . But one mistake changed everything. After becoming the victim of an elaborate corporate fraud disguised as a prestigious investment opportunity, Nora watched her family's fortune disappear overnight. Bank accounts were frozen. Lawsuits followed. Creditors moved in. Now, the last thing her parents left behind—the iconic Carter Heights—is days away from being auctioned. Just when she believes all hope is lost, billionaire CEO Ethan Blackwood makes her an impossible offer. Marrying him for one year. A contract. No affections No intimacy unless they both agree. No questions. In return, he'll save her family's building . But as enemies close in, old secrets surface, and fake vows begin to feel real, Nora and Ethan discover that the hardest contract to honor is the one that forbids falling in love.
