She agreed to a marriage of convenience.

She never planned for it to become real.


Emma Clarke has spent years avoiding anything that feels uncertain—especially love. So when Luke Bennett asks her to enter a temporary marriage to help him secure his grandfather’s inheritance, she knows it’s a terrible idea.


She should say no.

Instead, she says yes.


Because it’s practical.

Because it’s temporary.

Because it means nothing.


At least… that’s the agreement.


Luke Bennett only wanted a solution. He never expected Emma—the one woman who has always kept him at arm’s length—to become the person who makes his house feel like home.


As they begin living together under one roof, fake vows turn into real comfort, accidental closeness becomes impossible to ignore, and one marriage pact starts to mean far more than either of them planned.


But when family pressure and legal trouble threaten to tear them apart, Emma must decide if walking away will protect her heart…


Or destroy the one thing she never expected to keep.
