Xavier Cruz is ruthless in the boardroom and even more so in the bedroom. A billionaire business tycoon with a sharp mind and a reputation as a notorious playboy, he's never needed love-only power, wealth, and control. But when his grandfather's will demands that he marry to inherit his empire, Xavier finds himself trapped in a deal he never wanted. Ziva-a woman with a past laced in shadows. Sold to the highest bidder in an elite strip club, she's nothing more than a prize, a virgin meant to be owned. Until Xavier steps in. He doesn't just buy her-he saves her. But salvation comes with a price. A contract marriage. One year as his wife. One year of pretending. In exchange, she gets security, freedom, and a generous monthly payout. When the year is up, they'll walk away-no strings, no emotions. Except neither of them expected the lines between business and desire to blur. She was just a means to an end. But now? She's his greatest temptation. And if Xavier isn't careful, he might just break his own rules.
