The agreement is simple: Sign a marriage contract, pretend to be the perfect couple, and watch their exes burn. Rule #1: Make it convincing. Rule #2: Destroy their enemies. Rule #3: Never, ever fall in love. But as the lines between "fake" and "real" start to blur inside Atticus’s penthouse, Tin realizes that guarding her heart might be harder than getting revenge.
