AD

Three years after her parents’ death, Y/N’s brother Nolan suddenly returns—with a debt nearly a million dollars. The man he owes is Silas Vale, the powerful head of a criminal empire. Y/N intends to pay Nolan’s debt with her parents’ life insurance. She expects a ruthless man. Instead, she finds a calm, respectful stranger who never asks her to sacrifice anything. Then a simple meeting turns into a fake date. And somewhere between the lies, late-night conversations, and stolen glances, Silas begins to wonder if pretending is becoming something real.
