“Kayla McFarlane's life ends the moment she signs a marriage contract her father forces on her. But a clerical error at City Hall binds her not to a monster-but to Sterling Kensington, the cold, ruthless "Shark of Wall Street." He needs a wife to unlock a billion-dollar trust. She needs protection from a father who sold her. The deal is simple: act devoted in public, share his penthouse, and keep her mouth shut. But when Sterling's first love, Serena, returns from Zurich-and his venomous sister Lola makes sure Kayla knows it-the gilded cage begins to close. Stripped of her job, her freedom, and her dignity, Kayla is imprisoned in his oceanfront estate while Sterling races to the airport to welcome the woman he truly loves. Until a desperate call about her dying grandmother changes everything. Kayla climbs out a window, scales a wall, and runs into the storm. But Sterling Kensington doesn't let go of what's his. And he's just realized-he never wanted to.”
