Book Description
She signed the contract to save her father from prison. She didn't know she was signing away her soul. Disgraced architect Lila Marchetti is blacklisted from every firm in Chicago after a scandal she didn't cause. When her father faces twenty years for a fraud he was framed into, the only man who can make the charges disappear is Nolan Ashford—the ruthless real estate king who built his empire on her dead mother's stolen blueprints. His offer: twelve months of marriage. Public adoration. Private obedience. In return, her father walks free. But Lila isn't a company he can restructure. She fights him in boardrooms, humiliates him at galas, and discovers the real reason he chose her—a secret buried in the foundation of his flagship tower. The question isn't whether she'll burn his empire. It's whether she'll still love him when the ashes settle.
