One year of marriage for one million dollars. What could possibly go wrong? Asher Caine has built his entire life on discipline, dominance, and zero distractions. Feelings? Messy. Love? Dangerous. But when marriage becomes the final step to claiming his billion-dollar empire, he makes a calculated one fake fiancée, no strings attached. Grace Morgan came to New York City chasing her dreams, but dreams don’t pay the rent. Drowning in debt and reeling from betrayal, she’s barely hanging on as a waitress at a high-end BDSM club she has no business working in. Then she spills a drink on a powerful client… and gets fired. So when the icy billionaire she accidentally soaked in whiskey offers her a deal that could wipe out her debt and solve all her problems? She says yes. She’s not a submissive. At least, that’s what she tells herself. But the more time she spends in Asher’s world, the more she begins to crave what he’s offering. Not just the money. His rules. His control. His touch. And if she’s not careful, this arrangement might just cost her more than her heart.
