Zoe is a woman with a deadly secret. Trained as a ruthless assassin and hunted by the organization that raised her, she is running out of time, out of options, and out of places to hide.
Then she crashes billionaire Cooper McCarthy’s engagement night.
Freshly dumped minutes before his engagement party, Cooper is left humiliated, furious, and on the verge of becoming the laughingstock of New York’s elite. With a ballroom full of guests waiting, the press circling like sharks, and his powerful grandmother threatening his inheritance, the billionaire heir desperately needs a replacement fiancée before midnight.
So when a mysterious woman hiding in the back of his Rolls-Royce offers him a fake marriage with strict rules — no kissing, no sex, and absolutely no falling in love, Cooper makes the most reckless deal of his life.
What starts as a cold business arrangement quickly turns dangerously addictive.
Beneath Zoe’s guarded heart is a woman carrying scars that Cooper can not stop wanting to heal. And beneath Cooper’s icy billionaire mask is a man capable of loving her in ways she has never survived before.
But Zoe is hiding one devastating truth:
She has a connection to Cooper’s family that could destroy their love.
And when betrayal explodes, enemies close in, and Zoe’s secrets finally unravel, Cooper must decide whether he can forgive the woman who shattered his world… while Zoe learns that sometimes the most terrifying thing is not being hunted.
It’s being loved.
Especially by someone who has every reason to hate you.
