A one-night stand was all Daniella wanted: no names, no strings. But fate had other plans. As a reluctant heiress caught in a power struggle, and Alexander, a CEO forced toward a throne, their paths cross again. This time bound by a contract. Will their deal protect their dreams or trap them in love neither expected?
“I am sure that my father also had something to do with that. Nobody could force him to do anything unless he was the one who instigated it.” She knew that if anyone was the mastermind of this new scenario, it was her father. A whole week at his place with her family and his.…
