He left behind dark secrets and a single lifeline keeping my mother alive—our family’s hundred-year-old restaurant. Then Knox Vale walked into my life and ended my world with a single look. Cold in his eyes. Controlled in his movements. Catastrophic in every way that matters. Heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire—. and the man my father didn’t just work for…. but betrayed. Knox owns the loan tied to our restaurant. With one signature, he could take everything I have left. Unless I accept his. Marry him. For six months. A deal with a beautiful devil. To save my mother, I agree to his. A legal marriage. A perfect public lie. No love. No lines crossed. Rules that were doomed the moment he touched me.
