When struggling entrepreneur Emma is forced into an arranged marriage to secure her family’s legacy, she agrees—on one condition: it’s strictly business. No love. No emotions. Just a means to an end.
George , a powerful CEO with his own reasons for needing a wife. Cold, calculating, and dangerously charming, he sees marriage as nothing more than a strategic move—until he finds himself drawn to the woman who refuses to fall for him.
