On her wedding day, Julie finds her fiancé tangled with her maid of honor. Humiliated, she walks straight to the nearest stranger—a cold, devastatingly rich man—and offers a deal: marry her for cash, divorce her in six months. He agrees without a smile.

But the contract has a secret clause. He doesn't want her money. He wants her—and he’s playing the long game.

At a glittering gala, the patriarch of the Henderson empire pulls Julie onto the stage. “This is my sole granddaughter,” he thunders. The room gasps. Her husband’s hand locks around her waist, his voice a low blade against her ear: “She’s mine. No divorce.”

Julie just signed a deal with a man who never loses. And now she’s trapped between two wars: the Hendersons’ dynasty—and the husband who refuses to let her go. Because the contract is ironclad. The heat is real. And the only way out? She never had one.
