“Sign the contract... or lose everything you love.” Emma Carter only wanted to forget her problems for one night. Instead, she woke up hungover, horrified, and accidentally married to Alexander Knight—the ruthless, cold-hearted billionaire CEO whose face graces every magazine... and whose heart is said to be made of stone. When she tries to walk away, reality strikes harder. A clause in his late father’s will demands he stays married for a year—or forfeits his billion-dollar empire. Trapped between her crumbling life and his iron-fisted deal, Emma has no choice but to sign his cruel contract. But living under the same roof with a man who sees her as a problem to fix comes with a price—one her heart may not survive. Because the longer she stays, the more the lines between hate and desire blur. And the more Alexander realizes... he doesn’t just want a wife for his contract. He wants her. Forever.
