Bound by duty. Broken by time. Reclaimed by choice.
Heiress Jax Vaux lives by cold logic, keeping her emotions locked behind impenetrable walls. But logic crumbles when her father forces her into an arranged marriage with a stranger, Arielle Rousseau.
Bound by a strict one-year contract, Jax and Arielle enter a marriage of convenience meant to satisfy their families. Yet behind closed doors, indifference turns to an undeniable connection. They live by the rules, married by command, and when the year ends, they divorce strictly on schedule.
It is only after the ink dries that the truth hits. They fell in love.
Two years of agonizing silence pass, leaving Jax haunted by regret and the terrifying question of whether Arielle ever felt the same. When fate forces them back into each other's orbits, there are no parents to please, no contracts to hide behind, and no rules to follow.
They walked away when they were told to.
But now that the choice is entirely theirs, will they be brave enough to fight for a second chance?
