Talynn Joseph has dreams as big as her scars are deep. After escaping a toxic, abusive relationship, all she's left with is her determination to rebuild. But it feels impossible -until a chance encounter changes everything.
Dr. Reginald "Reggie" Baldwin has everything his prestigious family could want: a successful career, a respected name, and a commitment to excellence. But their relentless pressure to settle down and marry has left him jaded about love and their idea of the perfect match. When he meets Talynn, her resilience and drive captivates him, sparking an idea as unconventional as it is life-changing.
He proposes a marriage of convenience: Talynn can move in with him, get back on her feet, and chase her dreams. In return, he gains a reprieve from his family's matchmaking schemes. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement-strictly business, no strings attached.
But as their lives intertwine, the lines blur, and their connection deepens in ways neither expected. Just as hope begins to bloom, the shadows of their pasts resurface, threatening to unravel everything they've built.
With their hearts on the line and everything they've built in jeopardy, they must face their pasts, confront their fears, and decide if they can rewrite their future together-or if some contracts are meant to be broken.
