“He bought her brand. She refused to sell her heart. Lila Hart built her fashion label from scratch, bold, independent, and fierce. But when her company falls into financial crisis, ruthless tech billionaire Jaxon Vale swoops in with an ultimatum: sign over control and stay as Creative Director for one year... or watch everything she built collapse. Lila accepts, but on her terms. She will not be owned, she will not be silenced, and she certainly will not fall for a man like Jaxon. But Jaxon is not just any billionaire. He is cold, calculating, and hiding a secret that links their pasts. As sparks fly and walls fall, Lila uncovers a shocking clause buried in her contract, revealing a connection that was never accidental. Was their partnership fate... or manipulation? Now Lila must decide: protect her heart, or uncover the truth. Because love was never part of the deal. But heartbreak always has a cost.”
