Truth or Dare?

WLW | ProfxStudent | Contract Marriage

Professor Selene Ashford needs one thing to secure her inheritance: a stable marriage that lasts two years.

Amara volkov never expected to become her solution.

Bound by a contract and a secret neither can afford to expose, they return to the same university as professor and student, pretending to be strangers in public while sharing a penthouse behind closed doors. As a married couple.

The terms are simple. For two years, Selene stays married to Amara to secure her inheritance. In return, Amara receives a fully funded master's degree, housing, and the future she's spent years working toward. All she has to do is make the marriage look real.

The arrangement is simple. Keep up appearances. Follow the rules. Don't get attached.

Unfortunately, neither of them is very good at following rules.

Between constant arguments, sharp banter, and a growing dependence neither wants to acknowledge, the line between obligation and something far more dangerous begins to blur.

But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when everything starts to fall apart, some promises become harder to keep than others. And when the truth finally catches up to them, keeping their promises may cost far more than either of them expected.
