He needs a flawless shield. She needs a platinum lifeline. The contract was supposed to be simple. For neurosurgeon Gavin Moorson, marriage isn't about love; it’s a logic puzzle. To secure a massive promotion and pass a grueling Department of Defense security audit, he needs a respectable, steady wife on paper to prove he isn't a flight risk. For Liera, marriage isn't a fairy tale; it’s a matter of survival. Suffering from a terrifying, undiagnosed neurological condition with zero health coverage, she is one bad flare-up away from total ruin. Their arrangement is meticulously drafted: One year. Separate wings. A strictly enforced professional distance. But when the federal auditors launch an aggressive investigation into their personal lives, the rules are thrown out the window. Forced to move in together and choreograph a completely convincing domestic life to satisfy the review board, the cold distance between them begins to melt. As fake touches turn lingering and staged devotion bleeds into real trust, the lines of their contract blur beyond recognition. But Liera's failing body is a ticking clock. With a medical crisis looming and a ruthless rival waiting for them to slip up, Gavin and Liera must decide what is more dangerous: the federal fraud that brought them together, or the terrifying reality that they are falling in love.
