I signed the wrong line. One careless moment, one pen, and I somehow became the legal wife of Ethan Blackwood, the most powerful and most feared billionaire in New York City.
It was a mistake. An accident. Except it turns out it was neither.
Someone engineered my signature. Someone chose me specifically and placed me in that room with that document for reasons I did not yet understand. And when Ethan asks me to maintain the marriage for six weeks to protect a forty-billion-dollar deal, I agree, because the number he offers can change my life and because somewhere underneath the fury of being used, I need to know who did this and why they chose me.
What I do not expect is Ethan himself. The man behind the cold eyes and the controlled silence. The one who admits he already knew something was coming but did not know it would be me. The one who is, against all logic and against every wall he has spent years building, starting to matter.
But the deeper we go, the darker the truth becomes. Because the person who orchestrated our marriage did not do it to embarrass Ethan. They did it to control me. And the reason why is buried in a secret my own family has been keeping for twenty years.
Six weeks. One fake marriage. And a conspiracy that will destroy everything if we cannot find the truth before it finds us first.
