A one-year contract. A billion-dollar lie. And a marriage that was never supposed to feel real.
Aria Westbrook has zero interest in becoming anyone's wife - especially not Dominic Thorne's. Cold, calculating, and dangerously attractive, he's the billionaire every tabloid drools over. When a scandal threatens his company's image, Dominic needs a solution fast... and it comes in the form of a reluctant, razor-tongued literature graduate.
The deal is simple: one year of marriage, no feelings, and definitely no falling in love.
But when exes stir trouble, secrets surface, and misunderstandings threaten to destroy what they never meant to build... Aria begins to wonder if the real danger was never the contract, but the man behind it.
Because Dominic Thorne might not be the heartless CEO the world thinks he is.
And this fake marriage?
It's starting to feel terrifyingly real.
