Amelia Ava Carter was broke.
Her rent was due in 3 days, her mom's hospital bills were piling up, and her last job interview ended with "we'll call you."
She was desperate. Out of options.
That was when Damien Wolfe walked into her life.
Cold eyes. Tailored suit. Billionaire CEO. The kind of man who owned entire buildings and broke hearts for breakfast.
"I have a proposition," he said, his voice like ice. "Marry me for 6 months."
Amelia blinked. "Excuse me?"
"You heard me," Damien continued, sliding a contract across the table. "Marry me. Pretend to be my wife. In return, I'll pay off all your debts. 5 million dollars."
Her hands shook. 5 million. It would save her mom.
"What's the catch?" she whispered.
Damien's lips curved into a ruthless smile. "The catch is... you can never fall in love with me."
Amelia stared at the contract. Her pride screamed no. Her heart screamed yes.
With trembling fingers, she picked up the pen.
One signature. 6 months. No love allowed.

“Why me?” Amelia whispered, staring at the man who looked like sin in a 3-piece suit.
Damien’s cold eyes softened for just a second. “Because you’re desperate. And desperate people don’t ask questions.”
She hated him. She needed him.
With trembling hands, Amelia picked up the pen. One signature. Six months. And her mother would live.
But she didn’t know that signing that contract would chain her to a man who swore he’d never love... and a secret that could destroy them both.
