She was supposed to marry for money.
He was supposed to be a lie.
Instead, they became a force no one saw coming.
Iris Olson has spent her life being groomed as a bargaining chip-her future traded in boardrooms and family negotiations she never agreed to. When her parents push her toward a ruthless corporate heir, Iris makes one reckless decision that changes everything: she proposes a contract marriage to a stranger.
Damian Blaine is calm, controlled, and far more dangerous than he lets on. He agrees to the deal with no demands, no leverage, and no promises-except one: he will stand beside her.
What begins as a calculated escape turns into a high-stakes collision of wealth, power, betrayal, and loyalty. As family secrets unravel and enemies grow desperate, Iris discovers that her "fake" husband commands a world built on money and guns-and that loving him means stepping into a battlefield where weakness is punished and restraint is power.
But Iris isn't looking to be rescued.
She's ready to take control.
