“You want this,” Leo murmured, his thumb slowly tracing the nape of my neck. His face hovered dangerously close to mine, so close that I forgot how to breathe. A gasp escaped me when he pushed my dress higher, exposing my thighs as his hands settled between them. I turned my head away, trying to escape the intensity of his gaze, the way it seemed to see straight through me. “Your body says otherwise,” he said softly. His lips trailed down my neck, leaving a path of heat behind until they reached my bare chest. The sensation sent a sharp shiver down my spine. Goosebumps erupted across my skin as I inhaled sharply. I tried to speak, but the words refused to come. He had that effect on me. When his tongue brushed and sucked on my nipple, a soft moan escaped my lips before I could stop it. “You’re trembling,” he whispered against my skin. I shouldn’t be here. I should stay away from this man. But he had already worked his way into my thoughts, invading them every single day. My body betrayed me, responding to him in ways I couldn’t control. It was supposed to be one night. I swallowed, forcing the words out as his fingers rubbed my core, making me arch forward instinctively against him. “I don’t want you.” “Interesting,” Leo said lazily, his finger hooking lightly against the strap of my thong. “Because you’re still here.” My eyes fluttered closed as a wave of sensation rushed through me. I was lying, and he knew it. “We shouldn’t be doing this, Leo,” I whispered. He leaned closer, his voice low and steady. “Give me one good reason, and I’ll stop.” “Because… you’re my best friend’s fiancé.”

Sa malamig na lungsod ng New York, nagsimula ang kakaibang kwento ng isang simpleng Filipina na si **Azia Montenayor** at ng isang mayamang CEO na si Edward Falcon. Isang aksidenteng banggaan sa loob ng kumpanya ang naging daan upang alukin ni Edward si Azia ng isang hindi pangkaraniwang kasunduan—isang one-year contract marriage kapalit ng malaking halaga ng pera. Para kay Azia na may pamilyang tinutulungan sa Pilipinas, tila praktikal itong desisyon. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na mas magiging komplikado ang lahat nang malaman niyang siya ay buntis. Unti-unting nabunyag na bago pa man ang kasal, may koneksyon na pala sila sa isang gabing may maskara—isang charity event kung saan nagtagpo ang kanilang mga landas sa ilalim ng emosyon at kahinaan. Mula sa isang lihim na alaala at hindi planadong pagbubuntis, nagsimulang mabuo ang isang relasyong higit pa sa kontrata. Habang hinaharap nila ang selos mula sa dating kasintahan ni Edward at ang mga pagsubok na dala ng kapangyarihan at impluwensya, mas tumitibay ang kanilang samahan. Sa bawat problema—mula sa aksidenteng pinaghihinalaang sabotahe hanggang sa panghihimasok ng nakaraan—pinatunayan nilang ang tunay na pag-ibig ay hindi nasusukat ng pera o pirma sa papel. Sa huli, ang flash marriage na nagsimula bilang isang kasunduan ay nauwi sa isang totoong pamilya. Sa pagitan ng tawanan, selos, panganib, at lambingan, natuklasan nina Azia at Edward na ang pagmamahal ay maaaring magsimula sa maling oras at maling paraan—ngunit kung ito ay totoo, ito ang magiging pinakamatibay na pundasyon ng kanilang bagong buhay bilang pamilya Falcon.
