Emma Carter has spent her life chasing her dream of revolutionizing sustainable fashion. Daniel Reynolds, heir to a business empire, has everything money can buy, except the freedom to follow his heart. When their worlds collide, sparks fly, but so do complications. As ambition, family expectations, and betrayal threaten to tear them apart, Emma and Daniel must face a pivotal question: How much are they willing to sacrifice for love?
Emma Carter stood in the middle of the bustling Manhattan startup pitch fair, nervously adjusting the display of her booth. Around her, eager entrepreneurs showcased innovative tech gadgets, flashy apps, and solutions promising to revolutionize industries. Amid the chaos, her sustainable fashion brand, Haven, seemed painfully out of place.
Her pitch had gone well-or so she thought. The investors nodded politely, but their questions revealed skepticism: "How scalable is this? What's your five-year ROI projection?" They didn't understand her passion or the importance of ethical practices in the fashion industry.
As the fair wound down, Emma fought back the sting of rejection. She began packing her samples when a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Leaving so soon?"
She turned to see a man leaning against a nearby booth. He was tall, impeccably dressed in a tailored navy suit that looked effortless but screamed wealth. His sharp blue eyes sparkled with curiosity, and the smirk playing on his lips was equal parts charm and arrogance.
"Excuse me?" Emma asked, tightening her grip on a garment bag.
"I saw your pitch," he said. "Impressive. But passion alone doesn't build empires."
Emma stiffened. "And what do you know about empires?"
"Quite a bit," he replied, extending a hand. "Daniel Reynolds. Venture capitalist."
Her breath hitched. She'd heard of the Reynolds dynasty-one of the wealthiest families in the country.
"I'm not looking for a bailout," she said sharply, refusing his handshake.
Daniel laughed, unfazed. "It's not a bailout. It's an opportunity." He handed her a sleek business card. "Meet me tomorrow. I think we can make something extraordinary together."
Emma hesitated, watching him walk away with an air of confidence that annoyed her as much as it intrigued her. Later that night, as she lay in bed scrolling through his email, her fingers hovered over the keyboard.
Against her instincts, she typed: Let's meet. I'm interested in hearing what you have to say.

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
