Clara Rivers thought her life couldn’t spiral any further into chaos. Betrayed by her best friend and drowning in debt she didn’t incur, Clara’s every day is a desperate struggle to outrun eviction, creditors, and the crushing weight of betrayal. Just as the walls close in, an anonymous note offers her salvation: “Your life doesn’t have to end here.”

What she doesn’t know is that the note is just the beginning of a deal that will pull her into a world she never imagined—one ruled by power, secrets, and the enigmatic Zachary Hayes. Ruthless, cold, and shrouded in mystery, Zachary is the last person Clara expected to meet at the other end of her lifeline. Yet, his offer—a marriage contract that binds her to him—is impossible to refuse.

But this isn’t a fairy tale, and Zachary isn’t a prince. As Clara steps into his carefully constructed world, she realizes there’s more at stake than her debts. Lies, betrayals, and old scars surround Zachary’s life, and soon, she becomes the pawn in a dangerous game of power, family legacies, and enemies lurking in the shadows.

Bound by a contract but torn by mistrust, Clara and Zachary must navigate the fragile line between obligation and desire. The closer she gets to him, the more she unravels the secrets he’s spent years burying. But in a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weakness, can Clara survive long enough to understand the man behind the mask?

One deal. Two hearts. And ties that will bind them in ways neither could foresee.
