At 40, Claire will do anything to save her seriously ill daughter—even enter a secret deal with 20-year-old billionaire heir Ethan.
She agrees to carry his child, believing she’s nothing more than a means to secure his family’s future. Once the contract ends, she plans to walk away.

As their forbidden relationship deepens, Claire is forced to question everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and sacrifice.
She thought he was far too young to love her.
So why has this young heir become the one man she can’t walk away from?
