She walked into the wrong room. He needed someone to stay. Zoey Hartwell fixes other people's problems. As a self-made event planner, she can handle any room. But she never feels like she belongs among black-tie galas, Malibu estates, or men who own building floors. When she walks into the wrong gala and instinctively rescues a stranger from his ex, she tells herself it was just reflex. She doesn't expect him to take her hand. She doesn't expect him to introduce her as his fiancée. She definitely doesn't expect him to make her an offer. Callum Ashford keeps everything controlled—the company, the merger, and his distance from anything messy. But he lacks a fiancée, and with a family deal on the line and an ex lingering, he needs one fast. The arrangement is simple. Three months. A contract. Rules. Zoey is practical. Callum is precise. It should be straightforward. It is not straightforward. Between farmers' markets, yellow flowers on the sill, and after-dinner dishes, the lines blur. Between midnight docks, Sunday family lunches, and books on the right shelf, the arrangement stops feeling transactional. The contract has an end date. What they're becoming doesn’t—and as the end of their contract approaches, the risk of admitting how much they need each other becomes impossible to ignore.
