But with their contract set to expire in five years, Sophia wonders if love, loyalty, and respect from a man are truly beyond her reach, or if the man she's learning to care for is more than just a billionaire with a broken heart.

Alexander Carter adjusted his tie, jaw clenched as his grandfather's voice echoed through the marble dining room. "Alexander, you're twenty-seven. The tabloids call you a heartbreaker, but that stops now. I want to see you married before the year ends." Xander smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Married? To who, Grandfather? Should I pick a name out of a hat?" "You're not a boy anymore. It's time you settled down." His smirk faded. Love? Marriage? Not again. Not after her.
