She was framed for a crime she didn't commit.
He offered her freedom?for the price of her name.

Iris Vale had everything: power, reputation, and a legacy built on precision.

Then one forged signature turned her life into a public execution.

Facing prison, abandoned by her own family, and hunted by the press, Iris is given one impossible escape.

Marry Rowan Blackwell.

Billionaire strategist. Corporate kingmaker. A man who doesn't rescue?he acquires.

The marriage is a contract.
The protection is real.
And the rules are absolute.

For one year, Iris must play the role of the devoted wife while Rowan uses her downfall to secure his empire. Every smile is staged. Every touch is watched. Every move is calculated.

But as secrets surface and enemies close in, Iris realizes the truth is far more dangerous than the lie that destroyed her.

Because Rowan Blackwell didn't just save her.

He made her part of his war.

And the most dangerous thing about their marriage is that neither of them is pretending anymore.

A dark, high-stakes billionaire romance filled with power games, forced proximity, and a marriage built on secrets.
