When billionaire real estate mogul Marcus Stone needs a wife to secure his inheritance, he makes librarian Jasmine Carter an offer she can't refuse. But as their fake marriage begins to feel all too real, dangerous secrets from Marcus's past threaten to destroy everything they've built. In a world of power, passion, and betrayal, can love survive when the truth comes to light?
Jasmine Carter never imagined her quiet life would collide with the world of the ultra-wealthy. Working as a librarian by day and pursuing her writing dreams by night, she’s content with her simple existence. That is, until Marcus Stone walks into her library with a proposal that will change everything.
Marcus Stone is a self-made billionaire with a reputation for being ruthless in business and irresistible to women. But beneath the designer suits and penthouse lifestyle lies a man haunted by his past and desperate to protect his empire. When his grandfather’s will threatens everything he’s built, Marcus needs a wife—fast.
Their arrangement is simple: a marriage of convenience for one year, no strings attached. But chemistry doesn’t follow rules, and neither do hearts. As Jasmine navigates Marcus’s world of luxury and danger, she discovers there’s more to the cold billionaire than meets the eye. And Marcus finds himself falling for the one woman who sees past his walls.
But when enemies from Marcus’s past resurface, threatening not just his fortune but Jasmine’s life, they must decide if their fake marriage is worth fighting for—or if some secrets are too dangerous to overcome.
