THE FINE PRINT

THE FINE PRINT

Olivia Chen has spent four years building a career at Hayes & Associates, sacrificing everything relationships, sleep, her mother's approval for a shot at junior partnership. When Declan Kane acquires her firm in a hostile takeover, she expects to be fired like everyone else. Instead, he offers her a position on his personal team. With one impossible condition: marry him for one year. Declan needs a wife to fulfill his grandfather's will and claim controlling shares of Kane Capital before his thirty-fifth birthday. Olivia needs money, stability, and a chance to save her career. The arrangement seems simple: live together, play happy couple in public, divorce quietly after twelve months. But living with Declan Kane means sharing his penthouse, his schedule, his secrets. It means watching the walls he's built crumble, one late-night conversation at a time. It means pretending to love him while desperately trying not to actually fall. And when his family's schemes threaten everything they've built, Olivia must decide: walk away with the money and her heart intact, or risk everything on a man who's never let anyone close enough to stay.
