She was sold to pay her father's debt. She arrived carrying his secret. Ava Sterling never expected to see Ryder Kane again. The last time she did, he'd spent one night unraveling her completely — then left her with seven words at dawn: "You are nothing to me."

Then Ryder steps out of the shadows and buys her himself. One year. One contract. One rule — produce his heir. The problem? She's already four months pregnant with his triplets. Ava signs the contract and keeps her secret, calculating she has weeks before he finds out. But Ryder Kane didn't build an empire by missing things.
