It was meant to be a contract marriage. Instead, it feels like destiny.
*** *** ***
Amelie Cavanaugh has survived more than most—losing her parents at eight, escaping foster care at fourteen, and fighting her way to Columbia University. But when her younger brother collapses during a football game, the overwhelming medical bills leave her desperate for a way out.
Enter Dr. Nathaniel Carrington Michaels—ruthless billionaire CEO, heir to a powerful empire, and a man under pressure to marry or lose his legacy. Their chance meeting in a hospital café sparks an obsession, and soon Nathan offers Amelie a dangerous bargain: her brother’s future in exchange for her vows.
The marriage contract is supposed to be cold and simple. Yet passion ignites where there should be distance, jealousy cuts too deep, and every touch blurs the line between fake relationship and true love.
✔But when long-buried family secrets surface, threatening to destroy them both, Amelie must decide: is Nathan her salvation—or her downfall?
