One night was never meant to turn into a lifetime.
Aria Chen was desperate—a brilliant architect running from scandal and financial ruin. She shed her inhibitions for one reckless night, losing herself in the arms of a cold, captivating stranger in a dark VIP suite. Before sunrise, she ran, leaving only the memory of fire and a single, forgotten earring.
That stranger? He’s Damon Blackwood, the city’s most ruthless, untouchable CEO, and her new boss.
Damon is furious she left, and intrigued by the chase. When he learns he needs a wife—fast—to seal a multi-billion dollar merger, he corners her in a private office and makes a shocking offer.
The terms are simple: A year of marriage. No emotions. A massive payout.
But the cold, corporate arrangement quickly ignites into something neither of them can control. Trapped in a luxurious life built on lies, their dangerous secrets and undeniable chemistry are about to expose the truth: the line between hatred and obsession is perilously thin.
Can she survive the contract with her heart intact, or will she become another casualty of the CEO's accidental vow?
