I thought marrying into a wealthy family would give my mother and me a peaceful life. But everything turned into a nightmare when I met my stepbrother, Lucas—cold, arrogant, and dangerously powerful. ​When my cheating ex-fiancé abandoned me while my mother lay dying in the hospital, Lucas handed me a contract: become his fake fiancée for six months, move into his penthouse, and help him secure control of his family empire. In exchange, he would pay for my mother's life-saving treatment and give me five million dollars. ​Thrown into a world of high-society deception, corporate sabotage, and deadly conspiracies, I soon discover that my mother's illness was no accident—it was slow poison. As old secrets unravel and dangerous enemies close in, I realize that my ruthless stepbrother has been harboring a dark secret of his own... and the contract was never just about business."

To save her brother from a $200,000 gambling debt to the Montreal underworld, disciplined executive assistant Elizabeth Stone must agree to a high-stakes charade: spending a week in France as the fake lover of her ruthless boss, Henri Gagnon. Known as the "Shark of Montreal," Henri is a titan of industry who hides a protective heart beneath a cold, "obsidian" exterior. ​In the opulent corridors of Lyon, Elizabeth must navigate a world of corporate sabotage and fake romance to help Henri reclaim his father’s lost legacy. As the line between professional duty and "primitive hunger" begins to blur, Elizabeth realizes the greatest risk isn't the debt she owes—it’s the heart she’s about to lose to a man who always gets what he wants. This is a story of sacrifice, self-reliance, and the dangerous price of protection.
