They might both get what they want in this marriage of convenience—if they don't kill each other first.

Annabelle Buchanan waltzes into Dante Escarra's office with a singular goal—to persuade him to accept her audacious one-year marriage proposal. Her objective? Taking control of her father's real estate empire. But Dante is her ex-husband, and their past is littered with hurt and anger.

Dante never once contemplated reuniting with Annabelle, because she broke his heart and left him devastated years ago. But her offer is a tantalizing chance to add an iconic Houston building to his real estate portfolio—a prize he covets more than he's willing to admit.

As they pursue their respective goals, the lines between business and heart blur. Can they make their marriage work the second time around, or will they both end up with broken hearts—again?
