Ava Sinclair is a determined entrepreneur with a dream worth fighting for—and the clock is ticking. One investor holds the key to saving her eco-friendly business, but Daniel King doesn’t do deals without leverage. His condition? She must pose as his wife for a high-profile acquisition meeting that could make or break his own empire.
It’s supposed to be a clean, temporary arrangement. Rules are set, boundaries drawn. But from the first staged handhold to the first too-real kiss, Ava and Daniel find their on-paper chemistry impossible to contain. Living together blurs the lines. Shared glances turn into lingering touches, and every public display starts to feel dangerously private.
The deal that began as a business necessity soon threatens to unravel both their plans. The more they lean into the role, the harder it becomes to tell where the act ends and the truth begins.
When the terms expire, will walking away feel like a victory… or the biggest loss of their lives? And when business turns into something that feels like forever, will either of them have the courage to rewrite the contract?
