Ivy Galanis never expected a night out to change everything. But when her path crosses with Julian Grant—the cold, calculating heir to a billion-dollar empire—she finds herself caught in a dangerous game of power, desire and secrets. Julian needs a wife to secure his inheritance. Ivy needs a way out. A contract marriage seems like the perfect deal — no emotions, no strings, just business. But the deeper they go, the messier the lines become. But beneath the glamour of San Francisco’s elite lies a legacy built on lies. As Ivy falls deeper, whispers of Julian’s forgotten past begin to resurface, and a betrayal closer than she could ever imagine. She was supposed to be his safest lie. He was never meant to care. But when love and survival collide, no contract can protect their hearts.
