He married her for business.
He forgot her name, but not the way she feels in his arms.

Billionaire Sebastian De' Giovanni doesn't believe in love-only power and partnerships. A marriage clause threatened everything, so he hired Hailey Spencer to be his perfect wife. No romance. No mess. Just a contract.

Until an accident wipes his memory clean... and all he sees is a woman he doesn't remember marrying-yet can't stop wanting.

To him, she's a prize.
To her, he's the man who once touched her soul.
Now, she must live with the heartbreak of being forgotten... while he rewrites the rules of desire.

In a game of contracts and consequences, what happens when hearts get involved?

The silence between us was so thick it pulsed. I could hear his breath. Slow. Controlled. And maybe if I was braver, I would've rolled over, just to see if he was looking at me.

But I didn't.

Instead, I whispered, "Why bring me?"

He didn't answer for a long time.

"Because I wanted you here."

The confession was so quiet I thought I imagined it. But my breath caught all the same. I stayed still. So still.

"It's dangerous, you know," I murmured. "Being this close."

I felt, not heard, the shift in him.

"Then stop being close."

"You brought me. You gave me one bed."

Another silence. Then, "I'm not perfect, Hailey."

I laughed softly. "No. But you're precise. And this doesn't feel like precision. This feels like sabotage."

He turned then.

And I felt it. The heat of his body. The weight of his gaze.

"You don't know what you do to me," he said, voice low, frayed around the edges.

My heart stopped. Then kicked.

"Maybe I do."
