Elara hasn't slept properly in years. A rare neurological condition means she can only fall asleep and stay asleep if she's physically tethered to another person. Desperate, she forced to a marriage her estranged ex-boyfriend, a man who broke her heart five years ago. He believes the marriage is purely for business, a convenient arrangement to secure a lucrative financial stability for his family. He's cold, distant, and determined to keep their relationship strictly professional. What he doesn't know is that Elara needs him, not for love, but for sleep. Will Elara be able to keep her secret while navigating a strained, loveless marriage? And what happens when Eli starts to thaw, noticing the dark circles under her eyes and the exhaustion she tries so hard to hide? Will he discover the truth about her insomnia and learn to care for the woman he once loved (and perhaps, still does)? Or will Elara's secret push him further away, condemning her to a life of sleepless nights and quiet desperation?
