Synopsis
Evelyn Lane spent eight years creating the perfect socialite identity to enter elite television. Minutes before her wedding, billionaire media heir Julian Vale corners her in a dressing room and calmly lists every secret she hid, including foster care, a jailed father, a borrowed accent, and a family history that never existed. He does not expose her. He offers a 180-day marriage contract. Julian needs a flawless wife to keep control of his media empire. Evelyn needs his network to launch the women's interview show she has built her entire life toward. Their marriage begins with staged kisses, one shared bedroom, and a rule against falling in love. When the performance becomes real, Evelyn discovers Julian still treats love as something he can manage, purchase, and protect without permission. To win her back, the billionaire must surrender the power that taught him to control everything
