A ruthless CEO. A struggling single dad. A fake marriage that turns dangerously real…

Elena Carrington built her empire on control, precision, and ice-cold detachment. But when a PR scandal threatens everything she’s worked for, she’s forced into the unthinkable — a fake marriage with Jake Sullivan, a mechanic and devoted single father just trying to keep his daughter safe.

The deal is simple: one year of pretending, no emotions, and absolutely no falling in love.

But as Elena’s walls begin to crack under the warmth of Jake’s world — and his daughter’s innocent affection — she discovers that love isn’t a weakness. It’s a risk worth taking.

And Jake? He’s no longer pretending.

When past ghosts rise and their carefully drawn lines blur, Elena will have to choose between protecting her legacy… or fighting for the family she never knew she needed.

In this slow-burn billionaire romance full of healing, heart, and high stakes, discover what happens when two broken worlds collide — and love rewrites the rules.
