Nova Sinclair has always been the kind of woman who gives everything she has. Caring, hardworking, and determined, she spent years working as a nanny, believing that love and loyalty could fix almost anything. After leaving her longtime nanny position to start a new chapter and quietly pay off debts she's kept hidden from everyone, Nova is determined to never return to childcare again. Desperate for financial stability, she reluctantly accepts one last nanny job working for the elusive billionaire oil tycoon, Malek Makemi, a widowed father raising his two young children alone. Cold, emotionally distant, and still haunted by the death of his late wife, Malek has convinced himself that love died with her. The only thing either of them expected was a professional arrangement. When a family crisis, relentless media attention, and a high-stakes business deal force them into a fake engagement, they sign a contract with one simple rule: no feelings, no complications, and no breaking the terms. But as Nova becomes the heart of Malek's broken family, the lines between obligation and genuine affection begin to blur. The contract that was supposed to protect them may become the very thing that tears them apart. In a world of billion-dollar empires, painful secrets, and second chances, can two broken hearts rewrite the terms of a contract neither of them expected to change their lives?

An office romance between rival lawyers who try to fight the tension between them until they finally give in. "You say you hate me but you fuck me the same day." *a lot of smut included!*
