Evangeline Seraphine Miller would do anything for her sick younger brother-even sell her soul if she had to. Desperate for money to afford his life-saving treatment, she agrees to a risky and illegal deal: pose as the wife of a reclusive billionaire for a short period in exchange for a fortune.
But the man she's pretending to love isn't just any billionaire. Aleksandr Nikolai Volkov is dangerous, untouchable, and whispers of his ties to the Russian mafia aren't just rumors-they're warnings. What starts as a carefully crafted lie quickly spirals into something far darker when Evangeline realizes the contract was never about money... it was a trap.
Now, she's not just playing the role of his wife. She is his.
And Nikolai has no intention of letting her go.
