When a tried and true merger hits a few snags, only a traditional happily-ever-after will do.

In 2647, marriage is rare. And strictly business. Sierra Merritt and Jonathan Bain Wright III want nothing to do with it. She's an industrial heiress. He's a powerful Tergonian Shifter. Neither wants a merger that ends with vows, and especially not to someone they've never met.

But when their shareholders force their hand, Sierra and Jonathan plan one last night of freedom. A wild encounter at a pleasure club leaves them tangled in silk sheets... and unexpectedly perfect together.

Now bound by duty—and undeniable chemistry—they must decide: is this just a contract or the start of something real?

A steamy, fast-paced, arranged marriage, mistaken identity scifi romance!
