Biya tahu permintaannya gila. Siapa yang waras meminta sahabat kakaknya sendiri untuk mengajarinya berciuman? Namun, keberanian polos itu justru mengubah segalanya.

Ajarin apa?" “Ajarin aku… ciuman.” Satu kalimat itu menyeret Biya ke dunia bahaya dan gairah yang tak pernah ia bayangkan.

Mia James needs a lifeline—fast. Accused of stealing company funds, she’s on the brink of losing her job when billionaire Adrian Knight offers her an unexpected way out: a contract marriage. Marrying him will clear her reputation, and for Adrian, it means silencing rumors, handling the press on his terms and fulfilling his grandfather's last wishes.
