Elena Magdalena Avila built her empire on lies. Founder of Ardor Alliances, a matchmaking service for the world's elite, she sells perfect illusions of love to those who can afford it. Her rules are simple: never blur the line between business and personal, and never get attached. But when Dominic Maxwell-ruthless financier, old flame, and the man she once vowed to forget-walks back into her life, her carefully constructed world begins to crack. Dominic offers Elena an impossible deal: one year of marriage to secure his billion-dollar legacy, in exchange for erasing the debt threatening her company. The arrangement seems simple-until an old scandal resurfaces, dragging them into a web of buried secrets and dangerous betrayals. As they battle the ghosts of their pasts and the tension threatening to consume them, one question remains: Can you survive love when it's built on lies?
