To save her hospital empire from a forced engagement, CEO Amelia Carter offers broke former surgeon Ryan Cole five million dollars to become her contract husband. Ryan seems like a sarcastic nobody with a ruined medical career, but his instincts expose fake drug trials, hidden hospital fraud, and a family willing to sacrifice patients for power. As Amelia fights her controlling father, jealous sister, corrupt stepmother, and ruthless ex-fiancé Nathan, Ryan becomes more than a paid shield. Their fake marriage turns into an alliance, then a dangerous love, while the truth behind Ryan’s fatal surgery resurfaces. When enemies try to steal Amelia’s artificial-heart project, husband and wife must choose: protect the contract, or protect each other.
