Brooklyn Carson never planned to marry especially not to a cold, calculating billionaire who treats love like a business transaction. But when her brother’s future is on the line, she signs a one-year marriage contract with Dominic Blackwell, the arrogant CEO who sees emotions as liabilities and appearances as currency. The rules are simple: move into his mansion, play the doting wife in public, and don’t ask questions. But nothing about Dominic or this arrangement is simple.

I was really, truly done with them. Too bad. It was already too late.
