Staring out the window of my tiny apartment, I never imagined that a life of opulence and power was about to come crashing into my modest world. My name is Amelia Parker, a struggling journalist in the bustling city of Valmont, and I'm used to getting by on my own. Until I met him—Elijah Bennett, a billionaire with eyes that could pierce a thousand defenses and a reputation that both intrigued and intimidated me. Our first encounter was anything but ordinary. A chance meeting at a gala I was covering ended in a misunderstanding that spiraled into a high-stakes game neither of us expected to play.

Each conflict drew us closer, igniting a fire I never knew existed. But can we withstand the pressure? Can Elijah and I transform a contract into a commitment, or will our secrets and fears tear us apart? As the stakes grow higher and our hearts become entangled, I find myself questioning everything: What is love, if not the most dangerous gamble of all?
