WARNING: Contains explicit scenes/mature content. A wild one-night stand. A stolen fiancé. An inheritance on the line. And a twenty-minute deadline to get married before midnight. On her twenty-fourth birthday, fiercely independent designer Juliet Sparks walks into her family’s banquet, only to find her fiancé, Adam, wrapped around her toxic stepsister, Karen. Even worse? Karen has bribed every bachelor in the city to ensure Juliet stays single—forcing her to forfeit her late mother’s beloved Sparks Design Studio. With less than an hour before the civil registry office closes, Juliet marches in, desperate for a legal husband. That’s when she spots him—a dangerously handsome man in a bespoke suit brooding on a bench. Armed with a purple flamingo pen and zero filter, Juliet proposes a deal: “No money involved. No messy emotional baggage. A strictly legal contract marriage for one year, then a quiet divorce. Are you in?” Amused by her sheer audacity, Roman Bloom agrees. What Juliet doesn't know? Her new "ordinary assistant" husband is actually the icy, multi-billionaire CEO who controls half the state's economy—and the very man she shared an unforgettable, explosive one-night stand with. While Juliet buys her husband cheap ties to help him save money, Roman is busy using his massive corporate empire to secretly obliterate anyone who dares to cross his fiery, quirky wife. But when hidden secrets, dangerous setups, and intense physical passion collide, keeping his true identity hidden becomes Roman's most perilous game yet...

"If you won't smile... I'd stitch your lips into one with a needle if I had to. I don't want to be rough. But why... does nothing ever go my way?" Even as I stayed silent, he muttered to himself as if used to it, then lifted the temperature-adjusted showerhead over my clothes. "Stop being so stubborn and talk to me already. I'm the one who's suffering here... Okay? Elias Reyes." Find out who the man is-who stole Elias 's memories and is holding him captive.
