Astrid shook her head, opening her mouth to protest, but he cut her off.

When Astrid Blythe, a rising event planner, runs into her ex, Adrian Voss, at his engagement party, sheâs shocked to discover that his fiancĂ©e is missing. What starts as a strange encounter quickly spirals into something even more surreal when Adrian offers Astrid a proposal of his own: marry him in a cold, calculated, no-strings-attached arrangement.
Despite her better judgment, Astrid agrees to the deal. But as the line between business and desire blurs, she finds herself drawn back into Adrianâs dangerous orbitâand realizes, to her horror, that sheâs falling again for the man she once lovedâŠthe man who had a hand in the death of their child.
