To save her beloved art studio from demolition, struggling artist Maya must marry within weeks or lose everything. Her grandfather's cruel inheritance clause demands a husband, but in a city of millions, she feels utterly alone and out of time. Meanwhile, across Chicago, powerful mogul Julian Thorne faces his own crisis: a scandal threatening his empire, solvable only by a strategic marriage. Two strangers, bound by desperate needs and a city that demands a price for everything, are about to enter the coldest deal imaginable. Can a contract built on desperation ever ignite a spark, or will their forced union only lead to a clause of no return?
