Heaven Carter is 23, brilliant, beautiful, and bred for business. As the only heir to Carter Global Enterprises, she's next in line to take the CEO seat-but there's a catch. Her father's terms? She has to get married first. Not just to anyone, but to Dominic "Dom" Grey-a 32-year-old Black mogul with a reputation soaked in secrets and power. Dom isn't just her father's closest ally-he's a king in his own right, ruling over a shadow empire that operates behind the scenes of luxury and crime. Cold, calculated, and always in control, he agrees to the arrangement to protect Carter's legacy-and because he owes her father a favor. But Heaven? She's not some pawn in a game of kings. She's fire with a voice, ambition in heels, and a temper Dom wasn't ready for. What starts as a paper marriage for power quickly turns into a war of wills. Dom wants obedience. Heaven wants freedom. But neither of them expected the sparks. And in a world where loyalty is deadly and love is a liability, they'll either rise together, or destroy each other.
