“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.
What begins as a contract marriage meant to protect reputations and secure her career soon turns into something far more dangerous. 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.

A heavy, lingering sigh slipped past Sarah's lips—a slow exhale steeped in frustration and profound weariness. Whatever foolish optimism had led her to believe she could enjoy a peaceful lunch had vanished completely. The exquisite presentation of the meal before them now felt like an unwelcome distraction. Even the casual chatter that usually lubricated mid-day breaks was utterly powerless against the cold, suffocating knot tightening in her chest. Peace, it seemed, was a luxury her current life would not afford her.
