A fake marriage. A real murder. A legacy wrapped in secrets.
When ruthless CEO Alessia Moreau agrees to a cold, calculated marriage to fulfill her dying grandmother's final wish, she never expects the man at the altar to be colder than the deal itself. Damien Blackwood-infamous, unreadable, and bound to her only by contract-is meant to be her shield, her pretend husband, her bodyguard in the eyes of the world.
But when her grandmother dies under suspicious circumstances days after their quiet wedding, Alessia's fake fairy tale shatters. The medication was tampered with. The will destroyed. And the killer may be someone who calls her family.
Bound by secrets, hunted by betrayal, and tangled in a web of deceit, Alessia and Damien must navigate a dangerous game of appearances and lies. But in the shadows of their fake vows, something real begins to bloom-something dangerous.
Because in a house where trust is poison, love might be the deadliest weapon of all.
