“She signed a contract. She didn't expect to sign away her heart. Zoe Monroe never wanted to set foot in Jameson Montague's world. A world of ruthless billionaires, backstabbing boardrooms, and cold, calculated marriages. But when life leaves her with no other choice, she agrees to a contract that will change everything-one year as Jameson's wife. No love. No feelings. Just a business deal. Jameson is everything she despises-rich, powerful, and dangerously unreadable. He doesn't need a wife, just a woman who can play the part long enough to secure his legacy. Zoe fits the bill. But what starts as a convenient arrangement quickly spirals into something neither of them can control. She challenges him. He infuriates her. Their chemistry? Undeniable. But behind the perfect façade, shadows lurk. A vengeful ex, a scheming stepmother, and a brother who wants Jameson destroyed. And as Zoe fights to keep her past buried, Jameson is forced to confront the one thing he swore he'd never feel-something real. In a world where love is just another transaction, falling for each other was never part of the deal. But the most dangerous contracts? Are the ones written in the heart.”
