Three months. One deal. A love neither of them saw coming.

How far would you go to save the life of someone you love?

Blanche is a fearless firefighter paramedic, a woman who runs toward danger while everyone else runs away. Known by the media as Manhattan's Sweetheart, she's a real-life heroine-until a single confrontation with a powerful billionaire puts her career, her reputation, and everything she's worked for at risk. With her goddaughter's life hanging in the balance, Blanche is running out of time... and options.

Vernon is cold, ruthless, and untouchable. A New York CEO with a last name synonymous with power, he believes everything has a price-and he's never been wrong. Until a viral scandal threatens his empire and forces him to make a dangerous decision.

His solution? A deal no one can refuse.

For three months, Blanche will be his fake girlfriend-the perfect distraction to silence the media and restore his image. In return, Vernon will give her the one thing she desperately needs. It's a strictly controlled arrangement. No emotions. No trust. No attachments.

But rules are easy to make... and impossible to follow.

Forced to live under the same roof, desire ignites where resentment once lived. The attraction neither of them wanted becomes impossible to deny. And as secrets surface and enemies close in, Vernon realizes too late that Blanche is no longer part of a deal-she's the one thing he can't afford to lose.

Because when love enters the equation, the most powerful man in Manhattan may finally discover that some things were never meant to be owned.
