He married her for revenge. She married him for survival. Neither expected to fall in love. When Isla Monroe's father dies, leaving their luxury hotel empire buried in $47 million of debt, the last person she expects to offer salvation is Damien Kaine-the ruthless billionaire whose family her father destroyed twenty years ago. His offer: A one-year marriage contract and $50 million. His real agenda: Revenge.
What neither anticipated: An obsession that turns their cold arrangement into an all-consuming love. Damien planned every detail of his revenge for two decades. But he didn't plan on Isla-brilliant, fierce, and impossible to resist. As corporate threats escalate and enemies close in, he must choose between destroying the Monroe legacy or surrendering to a love that could redeem them both. Isla knows she should hate him.
But between forced proximity, undeniable chemistry, and the ruthless protectiveness he shows her, the lines blur between performance and reality. When his secrets unravel and the truth about their marriage comes out, she faces an impossible choice: trust the man who orchestrated her life, or save herself before he destroys her completely. In a world of billion-dollar deals and dangerous enemies, can revenge become redemption? Can ruthless vows become tender promises?
