To save her family’s legacy, she needs a fortune. To secure his, he needs a wife. When struggling artist Elara Vance is faced with the imminent loss of her grandmother’s beloved gallery, a lifeline comes from the most unexpected—and infuriating—source. Liam Thorne, Manhattan’s most ruthless billionaire, offers her a deal: pose as his fiancée for one year to appease his traditional board and inherit his empire, and he’ll clear all her debts. It’s a simple, cold business transaction. But behind closed doors, their carefully crafted contract begins to fray. The stolen kisses for the press feel dangerously real, and the simmering tension between them threatens to combust. As lines blur and the city watches their every move, Elara finds herself falling for the man behind the fortune, a man who vowed this could never be real. Now, with the end of their arrangement looming, she must decide: walk away with her freedom secured, or risk her shattered heart on a billionaire who might just see her as the ultimate acquisition.
