After losing my job, my apartment, and every last dollar, I have no choice but to accept the most unbelievable offer of my life—a one-year contract marriage to Serena Hart, the billionaire CEO who bullied me all through high school.
The rules are simple.
Pretend to be the perfect wife.
Smile for the cameras.
Never fall in love.
One year. One million dollars. Then we walk away forever.
But the cold woman I move in with isn't the cruel girl I remember. Instead of humiliating me, she protects me. She defends me from everyone who tries to hurt me. And little by little, I uncover a heartbreaking truth...
The girl I spent years hating has been secretly watching over me all along.
Just when I begin to believe our fake marriage could become something real, Serena's jealous ex and her ruthless uncle expose our contract to the world. The scandal threatens to destroy her company, my future, and the fragile love we've only just begun to build.
Can I forgive the woman who once broke my heart...
Or will our greatest mistake become the love story neither of us saw coming?
