The Sterling Code- The Vance Key

A marriage built on lies. A conspiracy rooted in blood. In the ruthless world of Manhattan's elite, power isn't given; it's taken. Arthur Sterling, the cold, calculating heir to a tech empire, is about to lose everything thanks to a ruthless clause in his grandfather's will. He needs a temporary wife to secure control. Enter Elena Vance, a brilliant Brooklyn hacker living in the shadows. Her father is wasting away in prison for a crime he didn't commit-a crime orchestrated by the Sterling corporation.
Arthur makes a proposition that tastes like salvation, but smells of betrayal: Marry me, and I'll save your father. They strike a deal, a contract written in mutual hatred. Elena becomes the perfect high-society bride, an unwilling asset in Arthur's war against a shadow organization called Locus. The closer they get to the truth-and the closer they get to each other-the more dangerous the game becomes.
In a city built on secrets, the only thing more lethal than the code they're trying to break is the attraction they're trying to deny. When the contract burns, who survives the flames?
