When a viral kiss destroys lawyer Elena Vasquez's career, reclusive tech billionaire Jax Monroe offers her a lifeline: 90 days as his fake fiancée for $250,000.
Cold. Clinical. Contractual.
But their first performance kiss ignites something neither can control a slow-burning truth beneath the lies. As they fake love in front of cameras, Gala crowds, and Jax's ruthless aunt, they begin to heal each other's deepest wounds: hers from loss and perfectionism, his from grief and emotional isolation.
There's just one rule in their contract: no emotional attachment.
Too bad love doesn't read fine print.
When betrayal shatters their fragile trust, Elena must choose: walk away for good... or risk her heart on a man who once treated her like data.
A tender, culturally rich romance featuring:
A Filipina heroine who plays violin and fights to be seen beyond her perfect mask
A neurodivergent-coded billionaire who builds AI to understand love because he can't feel it
Fake dating with real stakes, no steam (closed-door), and deep emotional intimacy
Music as emotional language, healing through vulnerability, and a redemption that earns its happy ending
Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Helen Hoang, and Tessa Bailey.
From viral kiss to real love-the contract was just the beginning.
