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.

I woke up as the villainess of an apocalypse novel, three months before my fiancé was supposed to murder me for my inheritance. Naturally, I canceled the wedding, exposed his affair, froze his family's accounts, and hired five dangerous men to keep me alive. There was just one problem: I recognized every single one of them. They were the future rulers of the apocalypse—and every one of them was supposed to become a monster. I only wanted protection until the world ended. I didn't expect five men to move into my house, fight over who got to sleep beside me, or fall in love with the woman the original story had condemned. But when the apocalypse arrives ahead of schedule and someone begins hunting us, I discover the most dangerous thing I've changed isn't the future—it's their hearts. How am I supposed to survive the end of the world when all five of its future rulers refuse to let me go?
