When Sophia "Sophie" Chen loses everything in a single devastating week—her job, her apartment, and nearly her sanity—she never imagined that a chance encounter with Manhattan's most elusive billionaire would change her life forever.
Alexander "Alex" Blackstone, heir to the Blackstone Global empire, is a man haunted by tragedy and bound by duty. Scarred both physically and emotionally from a car accident that claimed his fiancée's life, he's spent three years in self-imposed isolation. But when his grandfather's will threatens to strip him of his inheritance unless he marries within six months, Alex makes an impulsive decision that will shock New York's elite society.
One collision on a rain-soaked street. One contract. One year of pretending to be the perfect couple.
Sophie needs money to save her sick father and rebuild her shattered life. Alex needs a wife to secure his billion-dollar legacy. Their marriage of convenience seems like the perfect solution—until the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur.
But the past has a way of catching up, and when dark secrets surface about the accident that changed Alex's life, Sophie discovers she's not just married to a man—she's bound to his demons. As passion ignites between them and their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real, they must decide: Is love worth fighting for when the truth could destroy everything?
In a world where power is everything and trust is a luxury few can afford, Sophie and Alex will learn that the heart doesn't honor contracts—and sometimes the greatest risk is letting someone in.
One year. One lie. One chance at something real.
