What it is about
Emily Carter only wanted a place to belong. Overhearing her brother-in-law call her a burden, she makes a desperate choice: a marriage of convenience with a cold, mysterious stranger named Ethan Walker. But Ethan isn't just an ordinary corporate employee; he's the secret billionaire heir to Chicago's most powerful family. To test her intentions, he hides his wealth and offers a strict six-month contract: no emotions, no intimacy, and a promise to divorce if they don't fall in love. Emily signs it without hesitation, determined to prove she wants nothing from him.
But as Emily's toxic relatives and her sister's crumbling marriage threaten to destroy her, Ethan steps in as her fierce protector. What begins as a deal between strangers slowly becomes a battle of hearts. Will their contract marriage survive the secrets of the past, or will the dangerous truths of their hidden families tear them apart?
