Ella Monroe has sixty days to save her grandmother’s Brooklyn bakery — and $186,000 she doesn’t have. The last thing she needs is Damien Ravenshaw walking through her door with a black business card and an offer to buy the building out from under her.

Damien is the coldest CEO in Manhattan, and his grandfather’s will has given him an impossible deadline: be married by his thirty-fifth birthday, or the chairmanship of the family empire goes to a board vote — and his cousin has been waiting years to win it.

So he makes Ella a different offer. He’ll pay every cent of her debt. The bakery will be protected forever. And in one year, she walks away a million dollars richer. All she has to do is become Mrs. Ravenshaw.

Ella agrees — on six conditions. Separate bedrooms. No touching unless they’re in public. And rule six: he never, ever lies to her.

But a marriage on paper is easy to fake. Living under the same roof with a man who folds bakery boxes badly, burns breakfast, and looks at her like she’s the only warm thing in his glass tower is not. And when someone steals their contract and threatens to show the whole city exactly what their marriage cost, Ella and Damien will have to decide what they’re really willing to sign their names to.

One contract. One year. One billionaire she swore she’d never sell to.
