To save her family's legacy, Isabella Rossi has one last move: a one-year contract marriage to the one man who holds her future in his hands.

Damian Blackwood is tech's coldest titan. Ruthless, arrogant, and dangerously magnetic, he's a man whose fortune was built on algorithms and whose heart is a fortress of glass and steel. He needs a respectable wife to secure a conservative media merger, and the desperate Isabella, with her impeccable reputation and storied family name, is the perfect asset.

The contract is a shackle, each clause a colder promise than the last:

• A shared residence, but separate lives.
• Scripted public appearances, but private detachment.
• Absolute fidelity, but zero emotional entanglement.

For Isabella, it's a simple business transaction, a prison of a year to guarantee her family's survival. But as she steps into Damian's world, she glimpses the man behind the monolith?the wounded boy in his nightmares, the possessive glint in his eyes, and the unexpected vulnerability that he hides from everyone. She discovers that his control is a defense, and his coldness is a shield for a past he refuses to confront.

In a world of cold promises, what happens when a single spark of forbidden desire threatens to burn the entire arrangement to the ground?

For fans of Ana Huang and Lauren Asher, this is a steamy, high-stakes marriage of convenience romance where the only thing more dangerous than the contract is the passion it was designed to prevent.

He's buying her company. But can he ever win her heart? Find out in The Merger Arrangement.
