The contract was simple. The rules were absolute. The heart didn't care.

Sloane Calloway has spent six years building a fortress around her heart. As the most feared litigator in the city, she controls every variable, negotiates every outcome, and never loses. But when her estranged grandmother's will forces her into a room with Declan Ashford, the man who ruined her biggest case and still haunts her dreams, Sloane's carefully constructed world begins to crack.

Declan Ashford inherited his grandmother's empire and her dying wish: marry within ninety days or lose everything. He needs a wife. Sloane needs the evidence that will clear her mother's name. The solution is simple. A contract. Ninety days. Public appearances. Private lies.

The rules are clear: no emotional attachment, no future together, and above all, no falling in love.

But the heart doesn't read contracts.

As Sloane steps into Declan's world of penthouse views and corporate warfare, she discovers a man who's as broken as she is. Between the lies they tell the world and the truths they whisper in the dark, something dangerous begins to grow. The walls they built are crumbling. The rules they swore to keep are breaking. And Marcus Webb, Sloane's ex-fiancé and the man who destroyed her reputation, is watching their every move, waiting to expose the truth.

When the contract expires and the truth comes out, Sloane and Declan must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the one thing neither of them planned: falling for each other.

Some rules are made to be broken. Some hearts are worth the risk.
