Our contract was simple: a fake marriage, a job offer, protection from her ex. No emotions. No strings. And absolutely no crossing the line. But with Eden Siu, my sister’s irresistible best friend, nothing stays simple for long.

Eden is off-limits in every possible way—fifteen years too young, ambitious, and fiery as a dragon’s breath. She’s spent eight years silently wanting me, yet I’m the last man who should touch her. She deserves everything—love, desire, a life free from the wreckage of my past. But the moment she becomes my wife, even in name only, the pull between us becomes impossible to ignore.

Her ex-fiancé is circling back, determined to reclaim her. But I won’t let that happen. I’m supposed to protect her, not want her for myself. Yet every look, every touch, tempts me to cross that line and break every rule we’ve set.

This contract was meant to protect us, but now it’s a live fuse—igniting a fire that's tearing through every wall we’ve built.

The more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember where our agreement ends and my feelings begin. Can she forgive the past and resist the persistent ex trying to win her back? Can I heal my wounds before I push her away for good? Or will the line between fake and real explode, leaving us tangled in something far more uncontrollable than either of us ever imagined?

This is no longer just about protection—it’s about an all-consuming passion, and I’m ready to tear the rules apart and rewrite them in flames.
