Evelyn Hayes was innocent, broken, and running out of time. Her father’s catastrophic debt was a $250 million death sentence, and the only man who could forgive it was the one who craved her ruin.
Adrian Volkov—ruthless, cold, and devastatingly powerful—didn't want her money. He wanted her. As payment for her family's betrayal, he demanded a non-negotiable price: The Contract of Temporary Matrimony.
Trapped in a luxurious prison, Evie must become Adrian’s obedient wife, enduring his cruel commands and the possessive fire in his eyes. Every touch is a transaction, every kiss a claim, and every surrender digs her deeper into his web of revenge.
But when Adrian’s dark past and Evie’s desperate future collide in an act of explosive violence, their contract turns into a high-stakes war for survival in a world of billionaires, betrayal, and forbidden desire.
She signed away her body to save her family. Now, Adrian demands her soul. The contract is sealed, and the payment is due.
