The Contract Lie

By Samantha Miller

She promised never to lie to him. She never promised she wouldn't leave.

Six months ago, Ivy signed a contract to marry Thorne Callahan, Seattle's most notorious billionaire. Now the contract is the least complicated thing between them.

The man the tabloids call heartless has finally let someone past his glass walls. Ivy has made his cold penthouse a home, with a lighthouse lamp, a stubborn cat and a wall of index cards. Eleven rules were supposed to keep their marriage safe, and only one ever really mattered: never lie to each other.

Then, at 3:12 a.m., while the whole penthouse sleeps, confidential company files are stolen from Ivy's laptop.

By morning she's a headline. By the end of the week she's facing an FBI interview, and Thorne's board has the weapon it needs to take his grandfather's company away from him. Thorne would burn down everything Walter built to protect her.

Ivy knows it. That's what scares her.

With seven votes against them and the clock running out, Ivy faces an impossible choice. She can let the man she loves lose everything for her, or she can do the one thing she swore she never would.
