On her twenty-first birthday, Avery got heavily drunk and ended up spending the night with her brother’s best friend, Alexander Reed— the world’s richest trillionaire. She had no memory of what happened between them. When she woke up the next morning, she found herself lying beside him in bed. Shocked and utterly confused, she quietly slipped out of the room while he was still asleep. She expected him to bring up that night eventually, but he never did. Assuming he had also been too intoxicated to remember their one-night stand, Avery buried the incident deep in her heart and did everything she could to avoid him.

To celebrate their fourth anniversary, Avery decides to surprise Lucas by flying to his home in the Bahamas and walks in on the ultimate betrayal. Lucas— kissing her best friend, Olivia. As if that wasn’t enough, she discovers the two of them are expecting a baby together. Heartbroken and devastated, Avery leaves the Bahamas and returns home. Fate, however, has other plans. At one of her brother’s friend’s weddings, she comes face-to-face with the one man she’s spent six years avoiding— Alexander Reed. But the biggest shock isn’t seeing him again. It’s discovering that she’s already engaged to him… and their wedding is expected to take place in less than three weeks. As if that revelation isn’t enough, Alexander calmly told her he has always known she was the woman he spent that unforgettable night with years ago. Avery stares at him in disbelief. “What nonsense are you spouting, Alexander?” she demands, her voice trembling with anger. “Why on earth would I marry a notorious Casanova like you?”

The day my father slid that contract across the table, I should have walked away. I didn't. Instead, I signed my name next to his: Damien Blackwood. The most feared man in the city. Cold. Ruthless. The kind of man who buys companies for sport and destroys lives before breakfast. I told myself it was survival. That I was signing to save my mother and protect what was left of my family. But Damien Blackwood didn't choose me by accident. He chose me because he knew exactly who I was. Because he had been watching me for three years. Because the secret buried between our families goes deeper and darker than anything I was prepared to find. He says this is a partnership. He says we both want the same thing, to burn our fathers' empires to the ground. He says this is strictly business. But the man who shows up at my mother's hospital without being asked, the man who tucks my hair back in a dark car park and calls at midnight just to hear my voice, the man who kept a seven year old photograph and a handwritten note that says she is the one. That man isn't doing business. And neither am I. We started as enemies. We signed a contract. We were supposed to use each other and walk away. But somewhere between the revenge and the secrets, we forgot to stay on opposite sides. It was never just business. It was never going to be.
