On their engagement night, wolf‑noble heir Lucas Thorne publicly rejects Ivy Carter with a cold "I never loved you," shattering her dignity. Three years later, to save her late mother's company, Ivy is forced into a thirty‑day contract marriage with the very man who broke her.
She expects nothing but a business deal, yet from the moment she steps into Thorne Manor, she faces his ex‑partner's provocations, a council trial, and a mysterious assault. More unsettling still, something dormant stirs inside her—a power she never knew she had—while the truth behind that night of betrayal points to a dark family secret.
As lies peel away, Ivy realizes she must stand alone: remain a victim of fate, or rewrite the rules herself. But when the thirty days are up, what awaits her is not Lucas's explanation—but a choice even heavier than betrayal.
