Cassia Branco has ninety days to save her family's tile workshop. The man holding the deed wants one year of her life in return.
Matías Vasquez is a billionaire, a widower, and the son of the cartel the Brancos have spent two generations cursing. He needs a wife on paper to take his family's empire back from his stepbrother. Cassia needs a marriage to keep her grandfather's kiln lit.
One year. Separate bedrooms. No feelings-it's in the contract.
Then he fixes her grandfather's kiln without being asked. She stitches his shoulder in a Lisbon hotel bathroom. And on a weekend neither of them scheduled, the contract stops being a contract.
His stepbrother has the paperwork. Someone has a gun. And Cassia has just discovered she'll die before she signs anything that takes her away from him.
