Victoria Harper, a sharp and ambitious businesswoman, has always despised her boss, Lucas Donovan. He's arrogant, controlling, and infuriatingly calm in the face of her defiance. But when Lucas proposes a shocking business deal-a fake marriage to secure his position in the company-Victoria reluctantly agrees, seeing it as a fast track to her long-awaited promotion.
What starts as a cold, calculated agreement quickly turns into a battle of wills. Their mutual hatred simmers beneath the surface, but the more time they spend together, the more the lines between anger and desire blur.

But beneath the growing desire, there are secrets-personal demons and emotional walls that both Lucas and Victoria have carefully constructed. As the boundaries between their professional and personal lives collapse, they're forced to confront not only their feelings for each other but also their darkest fears.
In this intense enemies-to-lovers story, Lucas and Victoria's relationship develops from cold indifference and hatred into a fiery, mysterious, and magnetic romance. Their physical attraction is undeniable, but the emotional vulnerability that comes with it may be their biggest challenge yet.
