She lived her life like she was not exceptional except when she was behind the wheel, racing for the finish line. But was that all she wanted? One day, a man dressed up in an impeccable suit came up to her and told her she was a princess, heir to the throne. Insane, right? He was a prince and a successful tycoon who almost had everything except one thing. He wanted the crown. But he had no birthright to rule the Kingdom. Until he discovered there was another way for him to become King. However, he had to agree to the conditions and convince his future Queen of his plans. Easy, right? Would an arrangement be the solution to what they both desire? Would Luisa submit to what Liam proposed? Or would they get more than what they bargained for in the end?

Powerful. Ruthless. Magnetic. And hiding a life more dangerous than anyone whispers. Their first encounter is a spark that neither fully understands. But Derek sees something in Eva—strength, innocence, and a fire he thought he’d lost the right to want. When circumstances push her to the edge, Derek offers a lifeline: a six-month arrangement that promises security, protection, and a lifestyle she has never imagined. The price? Eva belongs at his side. At events. At private dinners. And in the intimate spaces of his controlled, secretive world. Eva knows the deal is a bad idea.

As Eva steps deeper into Derek’s luxurious world, she begins sensing shadows behind the wealth: men watching, rivals circling, secrets buried beneath his empire.
