“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.

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.
