Heartbroken and desperate, Valerie Adams discovers she's been betrothed to New York's youngest billionaire—a last-ditch effort to rescue her father's crumbling company. The timing couldn't be worse: just two nights earlier, she caught her boyfriend in bed with her best friend. When Valerie finally meets Ryan Lorenzo, her frustration deepens. He's every bit the arrogant, cold-hearted mogul she feared—a man who views marriage as a mere formality to appease his parents and cement his image as a responsible businessman. Commitment and emotional connection are the last things on his mind. But Valerie sees opportunity in their mutual indifference. She proposes a contract: a strategic marriage that will save her father's business and give her the satisfaction of making her cheating ex jealous. Ryan agrees, but only on one condition—he dictates every term. What begins as a calculated arrangement between two strangers becomes far more complicated when buried feelings begin to surface, forcing them both to confront what they never expected to find in each other.
