At 40, Claire will do anything to save her seriously ill daughter—even enter into a secret deal with Ethan, a 20-year-old billionaire heir. She agrees to carry his child, believing she is nothing more than a means of securing his family’s future and that she can walk away once the contract ends. But Ethan has other plans.

Despite their 20-year age gap, his family’s fierce opposition, her meddling ex-husband, and society’s relentless judgment, Ethan refuses to let Claire go. 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?
