“Once you sign it, you belong to my world and there’s no turning back.”

On her birthday, Sarah McKaley discovers her boyfriend’s betrayal—with her own best friend. Heartbroken and humiliated, she never expected anything to change her life forever.
A desperate decision ties her to Jayden Lin, the ruthless CEO of SJ Corporation. Cold. Powerful. Untouchable. He is also her ex-boyfriend’s stepfather.
What begins as a contract marriage meant to protect reputations and secure her career soon turns into something far more dangerous. Beneath Jayden’s controlled exterior lies a man who doesn’t let go of what he claims as his—and the way he looks at Sarah makes it impossible to tell where the contract ends, and desire begins.
She knows she should walk away. But once she becomes Jayden’s wife, turning back is no longer an option.

The heat between them flared to a fever pitch, the sheer intensity of Jayden's touch heavy with a brilliant blend of profound tenderness and unbridled desire. His mouth recaptured hers, swallowing her soft, desperate gasps in a slow, searing cadence that made them both entirely forget the boundaries they were never supposed to cross. Sarah completely surrendered to the intoxicating warmth pooling in her core. A raw, vulnerable ache blossomed in her chest—a feeling of finally being seen, finally being cherished. Arching her neck, she let out a broken sigh as the fiery sensation rippled down her spine, melting away months of fear and isolation.
