When desperation meets desire, some lines can never be uncrossed.
Elena Vance had it all figured out.
A 4.0 GPA from MIT. Two robotics patents pending. A brilliant career ahead of her. 
Until her world came crashing down.
Her toxic family demanded money she didn't have. Her boyfriend of four years chose a senator's daughter for his political career. 
Cornered. Desperate. With nowhere left to turn.
That's when Arthur Sterling made her an offer she couldn't refuse.
Cold. Calculating. The man her ex-boyfriend had called "Dad" his entire life. And now he wanted to make her his wife.
A three-year contract marriage. One signature to solve all her problems. What could go wrong?
"You're my wife now, Elena. And wives have... sexual obligations."
What started as a desperate business transaction becomes something far more dangerous when Arthur's controlled facade begins to crack.
Behind his icy exterior lies a man who's wanted her for longer than she could imagine—and he's not above using every weapon in his arsenal to claim her completely. Every touch calculated to break her resistance. Every whispered command designed to make her surrender.
But the most dangerous part isn't his power or his money.
It's how desperately she's starting to crave his control.
