Emryn
My whole life, I prepared to inherit my family’s empire—only for my father to rip it away on my twenty-third birthday and hand it to my stepbrother Franklin before betrothing me to a disgusting old man.
In my rage, I did the unthinkable: I proposed a contract marriage to Elijah Harrington—my father’s most dangerous rival and the one man I was raised to destroy.
A marriage that could never end.
Now I’m trapped in a penthouse with my enemy, fighting a war against both our families while battling my own body as stage 2 hypertension threatens to break me. What started as pure revenge is becoming something far more terrifying—late nights, stolen glances, and feelings I swore I’d never catch for the man I’m supposed to hate.
But the deeper we dig into our families’ secrets, the more dangerous this fake marriage becomes… and the closer I get to losing everything—including my heart.
