"It's just a deal." Victoria tells herself the night she agrees to marry a man she barely knows.
She needs money fast. Her grandmother's surgery can't wait, and neither can the start-up she's poured everything into. Victoria knows her app can succeed. The problem is getting someone powerful enough to believe in it too.
After months of rejection, one risky decision puts her in front of Ryder Lake.
Ryder Lake is the rich and untouchable heir to Tecna Group.
Ryder has done everything alone, and he plans to keep it that way. He doesn't do relationships, doesn't trust easily, and definitely doesn't need a wife. But when his position in the company is threatened by his own sister, the board and his father gives him an ultimatum: get married or lose his title as CEO.
So he offers Victoria a deal.
