A Six-Month Deal We Call Love

By day, Emilia Hart is no one-Isabella Asher, the unflappable secretary to ice-cut CEO Adrian Marlowe. By birth, she's the secret heiress to Hart Industries, hiding in the enemy's tower to earn power on her own terms. When a leaked nude humiliates her mid-meeting and a hospital call shatters her composure, Emilia returns to face a worse ambush: both families plan to seal a mega-merger with her marriage to Adrian.
At a gala the announcement goes public. Cornered, Emilia and Adrian strike a truce: a six-month fake engagement to outmaneuver their families, neutralize enemies, and control the narrative. But leaked whispers, corporate knives, and inconvenient chemistry force a choice-autonomy, legacy, or real love.
