Damon Rhys Sutherland is the merciless CEO of Sutherland Enterprises—a man who's as feared as he is envied. With a scandal threatening his career and a board of directors questioning his every move, Damon devises a desperate plan to secure his position: a marriage of convenience. And there's only one woman he trusts enough to help him pull it off—his no-nonsense, resilient assistant, Vivienne Clarke.
Vivienne has enough troubles of her own. Buried in debt and haunted by a painful breakup, the last thing she wants is to entangle herself in Damon's life any more than she already has. But with a financial offer that could change her future, she reluctantly agrees to his audacious proposal, sealing a deal that will thrust her into his high-stakes world of ruthless power plays.
As they navigate their public facade, tensions between them escalate in fiery clashes and forbidden glances. Just as their simmering chemistry begins to blur the line between real and pretend, Vivienne's past comes back to haunt her, entangling Damon's business rival in a twisted web of jealousy and betrayal. Now, they're forced to confront not only their growing feelings but the secrets and lies threatening to destroy them both.
